That Is almost always a hardware compatibility issue, if you get a machine that is specifically meant for Linux, even the jankiest of distros will not have all but the last issue, and for the last one if fractional scaling is causing issues just double your scale.

  I’m typing this message from a 16-year-old ThinkPad T410 running Linux flawlessly. cost 60CAD. any ThinkPad will run Linux like a dream, and the newer ones are like, $200-600 second-hand, depending on how fancy you want it to be.

    We’re discussing brand new dedicated Linux laptops and you want to bring up a 16 year old Windows computer? Yeah nah, you’re just intentionally arguing in bad faith. Goodbye.

    no shitdip, im emphasising how cheap shit can run linux. your “ohhh computer has to cost ten bajillion dollars to work good onlinux !1!1!!1” argument is dumb as fuck.

  LOL those are all like $2k I’ll give you that if you want it officially supported they tend to come with those price tags, although i did find this one which is officially supporting linux at the midrange price tag Laptop, I mainly mean that the individual components are supported which you could determine through a little bit of research, but generally speaking if you don’t want to pay the premium, you should be prepared for a little bit of trouble shooting, but normally it is only for the webcam nowadays. Overall, I have changed the os on many of my laptops, and they have always either had no missing functionality after installation or had a forum that explained how to fix its issues that was a one and done fix.

  Could you be more specific about what you mean? I don’t think I claimed anything that would be out of the purview of fractional scaling.
