When I buy a laptop I've found that its advisable to keep the Windows software on it in a partition that's shrunk as small as practical. Why? Because when you call support they probably won't talk to you unless they can step you through some basic diagnostics using Windows.

Hi, it is a good idea to keep windows on your laptop along with opensuse if you use it while traveling, as I do. There are a few places which have old wireless routers which don't provide for proper window scaling, and you may not be able to connect wirelessly with linux until you gain some experience using your linux laptop and can apply the correct bash commands to fix the problem. You will be able to connect with Windows in this circumstance.

Unfortunately I don't have Windows to fall back on. I've only ever used computers at work and they are old. I don't think any recent version of windows would run on them anyway. I've never had a laptop either. I planning a personal installation this week. But it will be on an old desktop Dell.
