Laptop brands that are good for Linux

[Kojack]

I will revise my selections. I would go Framework and Tuxedo for Linux laptops.

I'm thinking about replacing my wife's Chromebook with a refurbished laptop (from Amazon or eBay) that I plan on putting a Linux distro on. Are some brands better for Linux than others? I know from experience that Dell and Asus desktops are good for Linux. Does the same hold true for laptops?

First of all, NEVER BUY A CHROMEBOOK. or anything like it.

otherwise I have great success with dell. Not the ones you buy in the store. the precision, optiplex and the rest of the higher end business system. stay away from dimension and latitudes. I also do well with HP laptops. again not the low end crap you see in wal mart. in fact go to walmart and look at what they have, note the models and DO NOT BUY THEM.

Welp, opinions are certainly universal, everyone has one, or many. Horses for courses is one of mine. It's not my job to police the purchases of everyone on earth.

This is off-topic, but I'd say that you're generally correct with that statement.

I'm an exception. You can scroll through my comment history and see times when I've said something along the lines of, "I am not qualified to hold an opinion." If I don't have enough information that I understand, I don't have an opinion. If I do have an opinion, it's uninformed and not relevant to the discussion. So, I just don't have an opinion.

This is something as a result of my past. I appreciate formal logic and reason.

I think that it's unfortunate that so many people have opinions about things they don't understand. I'd elaborate, but it'd trend towards the forbidden subjects (religion, politics, etc...).
