Hi list(eners)
I need to buy a new laptop and am very confused with the new hardware and it's compatibility with OpenSuse (I guess I will install leap?), especially this secure boot thing etc.
I see that most of the laptops come with Win10 plus special stuff (cloud space and don't know what else), but I plan to reformat the disks and make a pure, fully encrypted Linux-machine, no dual boot, but Win within a virtualbox (needed for some camera software).
What do I have to look for/make sure to have/not have, so that I can do a more or less easy install without being an expert, and without too much time to tinker and solve problems?
Anybody has experience with recent HP, Asus, Lenovo? And how about Toshiba, which always seem to be cheaper?
I've have been using Toshiba laptops with Linux for 15 years or more, never had any issues with them. I have a couple of Satellite L675, but they're not exactly recent. IBM/Lenovo Thinkpads have also never caused much trouble, but I have not tried the newer Lenovo consumer range. /Per -- Per Jessen, Zürich (7.9°C) http://www.dns24.ch/ - free dynamic DNS, made in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
