My ThinkPad E531 is showing signs of age and the effects of one too many beverages spilled onto the keyboard, and I am now seriously looking for a replacement laptop. Asking for any recommendations from the group for a replacement. I use the laptop for web browsing and lightweight programming (generally command-line scripting), along with some video HDMI streaming and occasional DVD watching. The E531 has a built-in DVD-RW drive, which appears to be a vanishing feature in modern laptops. I can live without it, though - presumably I could find an external drive. I'm somewhat partial to ThinkPads (I like the overall form factor and it's worked very well with OpenSUSE for me) but always interested in possible improvements. I'm intrigued by System76 and wonder if anybody has had experience with them (OpenSUSE or not), or any other model that they've found works well with Linux. Thanks in advance for all responses-- -- - David Fleck
I like my System76 Gazelle running PopOS. When I have had an issue in the past they were quick to respond and help with the fix.
