Purchasing A Laptop Computer with Linux OS Installed
by FenderGuy from LinuxQuestions.org on (#6KMP7)
Background:
My laptop, with Linux Mint 21.3 (Cinnamon) installed, died, several days ago. I purchased a new Lenovo laptop @ Staples, returning it within the 10-day grace period. I then purchased a new ASUS laptop @ Wal-Mart, having read that ASUS and Dell laptops are known to be "Linux-friendly"; unfortunately, for me, not so much.
We have a local computer repair guy, who services new/used laptop/desktop computers, and is familiar with Linux, so if I got jammed up, I'm sure he could help me.
Special Request:
I found lots of evilBay vendors, selling new/used laptops, pre-installed with Linux Mint (Cinnamon), but I've been burned by evilBay, in the past, so I would be very greatful if you could recommend reputable vendors, selling new/used laptops, pre-installed with Linux Mint (Cinnamon); this way, I could hit the ground running.
I cherish your knowledge, wisdom and insights, folks.
Thank you for your willingness to help.
