I’m looking around for a laptop with these characteristics in particular:
-
Screen with stylus / pen (and pressure levels), but it doesn’t need to be “2-in-1”.
-
Good or above-average computing capabilities.
-
Long support for some Linux distribution. I emphasize “long”, because for example Lenovo for its laptops supports only one specific distribution version. Recently I upgraded my Thinkpad X1C9 to Kubuntu 24.04, but OEM drivers are only available for 20.04.
Do you have any suggestions of good vendors of a laptop like that? And experiences to share?
The Thinkpad X1 Extreme was a good example of what I have in mind. But Lenovo don’t produce stuff like that anymore – and again, it doesn’t really support Linux long-term.
Thank you for sharing!
Like the other commenter said, I’m.not sure what kind of software support you are looking for. But there’s a number of Linux first vendors like Starlabs, System 76, purism. And Framework, while not Linux first, I would consider “Linux as well”.
Thank you for the vendor names! I’ll check out if they offer anything with stylus.
Re: support, what I mean is driver support.
