Shit, just linux.

Use this community for anything related to linux for now, if it gets too huge maybe there will be some sort of meme/gaming/shitpost spinoff. Currently though… go nuts

I'm looking around for a laptop with these characteristics in particular:

Screen with stylus / pen (and pressure levels), but it doesn't need to be "2-in-1".

Good or above-average computing capabilities.

Long support for some Linux distribution. I emphasize "long", because for example Lenovo for its laptops supports only one specific distribution version. Recently I upgraded my Thinkpad X1C9 to Kubuntu 24.04, but OEM drivers are only available for 20.04.

Do you have any suggestions of good vendors of a laptop like that? And experiences to share?

The Thinkpad X1 Extreme was a good example of what I have in mind. But Lenovo don't produce stuff like that anymore – and again, it doesn't really support Linux long-term.

Thank you for sharing!
