Choosing laptop for Garuda

Hi, i was using Ubuntu before, shifted to windows and now when i saw Garuda, i really liked it and now am planning to buy a laptop specifically to install Gradua OS.

Kindly advise the hardware requirement.
I am a hardcore user of AMD ryzen processors

Thanks

Pretty much anything without nvidia.

I'd say at least 8gb ram. . . but I have 40+ in all of my machines so it's hard to know the lower limit anymore.

If you want to make sure you have very little issue with a Linux distro - you could get a computer that comes with it.

System76 makes some rather nice laptops. If you're in the USA the new HP dev one laptop looks pretty damn nice.

Being a Nvidia user is not that bad nowadays, this is because on laptops one can just use iGPU for displays and Nvidia with prime offload.
Even S76 ships Intel + Nvidia​:grin:

I have no problem with the hardware itself. It's arguably the best available.

As long as they continue to be huge opponents to freedom and the Linux community at large, I could never under good conscience suggest anyone or myself to give money in any fashion to such a garage company.

IMO article title is misleading, the whole point of article is that webcams of PCs with Alder Lake are unsupported, not the CPUs themselves.
Otherwise a lot of work for Alder Lake has been made recently​:grinning:
