Linux PCs

"I still prefer it to windows, but I think next time I’m going for a pc with a Linux os instead."

"Support for external monitors is pathetic, I realized MacOS doesn't support daisy chain like Windows and Linux, on top of that each display looks blurry because MacOS doesn't like 27in monitors or 1440p. "

"(Windows bug and not the laptop itself, wish I could put Linux but it is not mature enough) Now to the good: * The clean build quality is definitely for me"

"But now that steam is becoming more Linux friendly I think I will be steering away from windows and toward Linux and MacOS,"

"It’s fast, the IS will run everything from Microsoft Office to Linux apps. It will even run you iOS apps from your iPhone or iPad. "

"Big learning curve for windows and linux users. Good battery life. Not great for gaming, ML. "

"Intel Ultra while a horrible product name is winning over AMD on Windows atm. On Linux AMD is king."

"I’m already up and running with a WSL (windows subsystem for Linux), Docker Desktop, and VSCode environment. Technically you can do this through emulation on a Mac, but this skips a layer of frustration. "

"I've used both PC (Windows and Linux) and Mac alongside each other for decades, and the M4 MacBook Air has replaced my brownout-inducing gaming laptop for all but, well, gaming (of course). "

"Historically I’ve been a Linux and Windows power user with the only reason to use Apple being their touchpad and build quality. "

"I can develop and can test my stuff in native MacOS, and VM Windows and Linux all on the same machine using Parallels. It handles anything I throw at it with incredible speed. "

"This is the only reason I want the GPU and this one came with the basic GPU The screen resolution is insanely clear even if you are using it outside Everything runs smoothly with the 32 G RAM The processor is powerful, keep your mind I’m a powerful user not a normal I use it to run simulator and run Linux on it , to use some cybersecurity tools , everything works perfectly but I need the GPU for design purposes No hear problems at all, very portable, super lightweight...Laptop operated nice and smooth even on linux, but ive had some defects on other purchases of this exact model/year. "

"Linux: Yes...After hours of research it was apparent that installing Linux was not really possible...waiting on a needed Bios update from Lenovo. ...Pros: Excellent battery life Fast performance for daily tasks Bright, high-quality display Good port selection (USB-A, 2x USB-C, headphone jack) Windows Copilot integration works well Cons: Linux installation requires workarounds for full functionality (hoping future updates improve this) Comes with typical Windows bloatware (though a clean Windows reinstall resolves this easily) Overall, this is a solid laptop for productivity and light entertainment. "

"I’m already up and running with a WSL (windows subsystem for Linux), Docker Desktop, and VSCode environment. Technically you can do this through emulation on a Mac, but this skips a layer of frustration. "

"Good with Linux"

"The battery seems okay. It will run Linux, but there is no sound and Bluetooth does not work at this point, but the hardware is new so that should improve in a few months."

"This tablet would be much better if the OS was either Windows, or Linux."

"That limits you a bit if you're used to the performance of Linux + GPU setups. Extended heavy lifting (like longer sessions or local fine-tuning) can heat things up, and it might throttle over time. ...I have a total of 6 other laptops (windows Arm/Windows X86/chromebook/linux) and what the MacBook Pro still does better than all of them is the updates, trackpad, battery lose while asleep, webcam, mics for recording and consistent usage across devices. "

"Product works as intended, if you have an iPhone, it’s a no-brainer unless you’re a Linux wizard"

"I also love that you can install Linux on it. I went with Fedora with this system. "

"Other than keyboard, the rest is mundane, common chromebook. With full linux container and android app support, manufactures must consider affordable chromebooks with 16GB RAM, sad to see that's not happening yet. ...This is not Windows, it is a custom Linux based Google platform, meaning that there may be some software that it may not be able to access if you are buying this for your kids/college kids. "

"The machine does work with Linux with some caveats. The UFS drive isn't recognised by all installations so you may have to use a Live image like Ubuntu or Debian Live. "
