What is the best current gaming laptop that comes with Linux pre-installed? I don’t want to “pay Microsoft” by buying a Windows-licensed machine. Please suggest the best value-for-money option (original retail price) with 32 GB or more of RAM. I’m willing to upgrade hardware myself, but I want a high-quality, durable machine — I plan to use this laptop for more than five years.
“What is your budget?”
around $1,400 USD, but if there is a $2000 laptop with higher ratio of quality / price I would choose that one.
“What size do you want?”
Any normal size.
“What screen resolution?”
Any, as long as it’s not 720p.
“Which GPU?”
As good as possible, I care more about highest ratio of quality / price
“And if you want warranty, which country are you in?”
I don’t need a warranty.


Dell offers Ubuntu on some models.
You might get better answers in a Linux community, since that’s the focus of your question.
Yeah good point, is there a laptop or computer community on lemmy?
There’s a Linux gaming community, that’s probably where you’d get a better answer.
