I’m on the market to buy a new laptop, and Lemmy has successfully coaxed and goaded me to give Linux a serious try.

I’ve never used *nix as my personal OS.

Which hardware/laptop do you recommend? And which OS to pair it with for a Linux newbie?

I’m a software engineer, and quit my job to pursue an MSc in AI. So my uses will be:

  • programming
  • study
  • browsing lemmy
  • gaming

    I hear good things about Tuxedo computers. I might give one a try when I’m in the market again. I usually point people at Pop! OS and Mint or something Fedora based if they are into immutable file systems. I personally use Fedora Kinoite and love it. It’s super easy and doesn’t break.
