Best Linux laptop for 2023

posted 1 year ago

I’m in the market for a new Linux laptop. My current machine is a 2018 i7 with 64GB of RAM, a 4K screen, 1TB of storage, 2x USB-C and 1x USB-A.

I’m looking for something that can match my current specs but brings great battery life, modern Wi-Fi, and a fingerprint reader. I don’t have to have 4K, and may actually prefer lower resolution for the battery savings.

I’d love to hear some recommendations for a machine built within the past 12 months. Thanks in advance for your feedback!

If you like open source bios and trackpoint along with hot swappable mechanical keys, then take a look at System76 Virgo.

I like the idea of a System76 machine, but have never used one IRL. Nor do I know of anyone who has one. As a result, I’m hesitant on making the leap without some level of expertise/experience to back up the decision.

I wouldn’t use one. They made PopOS, and it’s just crappy Ubuntu with a bunch of garbage changes.

I wouldn’t expect this in the next year at least.
