| StainM, What flavour do you run? & what hardware drivers do you need? It took me a little while to sort out which manufacturers suppoirt linux. Many now do, but I now favour brother (printers), both nvidia & AMD video drivers have manufacturer & community support, & many clevo manufactured notebooks, but I am still after one without the glossy lcd and with AMD cpu as they (in notebook form) use far less power & will slow down under linux control when that oomph is not needed, conserving battery & reducing heat output. My flavour is "linux mint" with wine to run DelftShip & FreeShip. I am toying with the idea of ubuntu-studio to cover all music, video & stills editing & manipulation at fairly complex levels made easy with gui.  |
