I may be wrong on this one, but I think Dell laptops usually have good Linux support. In fact a few lower end Dell models also used to come with Ubuntu preinstalled a couple of years ago.

As long as you avoid brand new, recently released models, I think any manufacturer would be fine, because you'll probably have good driver support given a few months/years time. Apart from that, make sure to see the reviews and check if there are any mentions of issues with running Linux on that particular model.

If you are new to Linux then Ubuntu is a good place to start
Be there until you are comfortable learn to use terminal more understand how everything works
Try some window mangers like i3 and dwm.
Then try Debian do the same
Then try arch Linux do the same
Then try gentoo do the same
Then top of Linux pyramid “LFS” Linux from scratch.

I would recommend framework laptop which is not available in India and not cheap, but worth the wait in my opinion

Good Laptop suggestion

Hello folks 👋

I want to buy a laptop for personal usage. I will be using it mostly for media consumption and web dev.

I have had a very bad experience with windows laptops in terms of hardware and battery life after a year of usage....

laptops with good linux support

I am looking to buy a new laptop with good linux support as i cant yet afford a Mac. I have heard ThinkPads are good with linux support, are there any other manufacturers that are well known for their linux support?
