I’m looking at buying a new laptop which will run EndeavourOS exclusively, no dual boot no modding no nothing.

The choice is either Lenovo or MSI (neither have NVidea grahpics and both have intel i5/i7 chips with integrated graphichs).

Which brand is likely to be more Linux friendly?

There’s also an option for a Asus but again i’m only looking at whether i’m likely to run into Linux issues, the specs are virtually the same for all.

    I find that Dell is very Linux friendly, some of them even comes with Ubuntu installed and supported on them.

    You can find a slightly used one for a few hundreds $, and they are easy to upgrade, repair, etc, buy a Precision or Latitude that is coming from a company replacing them after 3 years.

      I mained a 3420 latitude with a 1135g7. Probably my favorite experience I’ve had. No complaints what so ever. Battery life was 2-4 hours

      I have a Dell Latitude now and it’s been great running EndeavourOS but has now developed a hardware issue so I’m searching black Friday for a replacement.
