Are they supported, though? That was the question. Downvote me all you want, put words in my mouth if that is what you need to do, etc.

A. But are they supported and is that a meaningful question? B. I am not bashing anything Linux because I don't hate it in the slightest. C. Did you read the parent I responded to? That comment makes two claims and tries to establish an analogous relation and that does not work the way the author wanted. That was also my reply.

So you missed the point of that post, you missed the point of mine and you strawmanned me :)


Several of the laptops mentioned are vendors who sell them officially with Linux support (system 76, dell developer edition, purism...) , so you either didn't bother or trying to create a false narrative


Yep, from a third party site. Maybe it’s true. Maybe it’s not true.

I don’t have to double check Apple machines. And anything with a Windows sticker works with Windows.

Some Linux distro should explicitly support some line of laptops. Literally “buy these models because we will 100% support them”.

Like PopOS from System 76?


At those prices in Australia, it’s not a great option. None of those Linux vendors are.

Dell or Lenovo has international presence and if something goes wrong with the hardware, support exists.


Actually the previous poster talked about sites for laptops supporting hackintoshes. I'd be very surprised if you find that information on any "official" website.
