I’m on the market to buy a new laptop, and Lemmy has successfully coaxed and goaded me to give Linux a serious try.
I’ve never used *nix as my personal OS.
Which hardware/laptop do you recommend? And which OS to pair it with for a Linux newbie?
I’m a software engineer, and quit my job to pursue an MSc in AI. So my uses will be:
- programming
- study
- browsing lemmy
- gaming
Pinebook Pro seems like a good option. It’s like a netbook. But it’s much more free than your average netbook and uses an ARM processor.
Debian Stable is a good distro for a beginner, in my opinion.
