I’m considering buying a laptop from Tuxedo, but I’m in Australia and I’m not sure how bad that idea is. Does anyone have experience or recommendation? I would not buy from any american company though. Is there a risk to not go through the country, or that I would have to pay a massive tax on it?
I bought 2 lenovos before. It seems to be getting worse for Linux and Amd. My first one was awesome, the second one had so many issues and I have to use a usb wifi and blacklist the internal one, so I probably want to skip lenovo this time, even if I have to pay a lot more.
Dell is good for Linux (especially Latitudes and Precision models). They’re also relatively reliable and build quality is great (if you ignore the stupid XPS-s).
For laptops, you have https://linux-hardware.org/. It’s also better to avoid MTK network cards(many are still fine). Otherwise, I think linux support is good for mostly all hardware.
Lenovo’s ThinkPads are still as good as any other models.
I did have a cheap dell netbook in the past and it’s true I didn’t have issue with any driver. But it I have an option outside of usa I would prefer.
About the site, l keep getting ‘too many requests’ error. I’ll keep trying. My network card is qualcomm. Apparently a common problem with people who have this model.
My lenovos are thinkpads, and the second one I had was far from as good with Linux compared to the first one.
