Hey everyone! I'm relatively new to Linux, but I'm really interested in switching from Windows due to its recent AI features. I previously tried out Pop!_OS on a desktop and really liked it, but it wasn't my daily setup. My coding skills are basically non-existent.
I'm in the market for a new laptop since I had trouble installing Pop!_OS on my current Acer Spin – getting into the BIOS is a bit tricky with that one.
I'd love some recommendations for a laptop that would be easy for a beginner like me to use and install Linux on. I've seen that Starlabs Systems offers laptops with Linux pre-installed; are they a good option?

I've had really positive experiences with Dell laptops, and Lenovo has a solid reputation too. If you're open to other options, the Framework laptops look pretty promising, though I'd recommend steering clear of pre-installed ones.
Pre-installed Linux laptops are a great way to go! I haven’t heard much about Starlabs, but they do look interesting. If you can stretch your budget, the Framework laptops are definitely worth considering. Welcome to the Linux world!
Thank you! I checked out Framework, and they look awesome, though they might be a bit pricey for me right now.
