I’ve noticed in the Linux community whenever someone asks for a recommendation on a laptop that runs Linux the answer is always “Get a Thinkpad” yet Lenovo doesn’t seem to be a big Linux contributor or ally. There’s also at least six Linux/FOSS-oriented computer manufacturers now:
So what gives? Why the love for a primarily Windows-oriented laptop when there are better alternatives?
The Lenovos are cheaper to repair by and large, because there’s just so many of them. I find HPs have overheating issues and I steer clear of them as a manufacturer.
Our Lenovo notebooks from the last 2 years sound like a jet engine, even when you look at the desktop, known problem, they don’t care or give you a possible solution.
My Dell does the exact same thing, or at least did when it was running Windows. I would go to put it to sleep and the fan would spin up like a jet engine, as if it was thinking really hard and doing the exact opposite of what I told it to.
That’s because of the broken “modern standby”. https://www.youtube.com/embed/6ykdtaIAG_0
