I'm desperately waiting for a reputed company like Samsung to ditch windows and introduce linux pre-installed laptops

[–] elbarto777@lemmy.world 13 points 11 months ago

Samsung a reputed company? The Samsung of the ad-ridden smart TVs?

System 76

There was a brief moment in the 2000s where major manufacturers were selling computers with Linux preinstalled. A lot of netbooks and thin clients had Ubuntu as an option.

Doesn't Samsung have nutty bloatware too?

Like Dell?

[–] onlinepersona@programming.dev 6 points 11 months ago

Dell's Linux support is laughable. I have the distinct displeasure of dealing with their shit quality right now. Camera doesn't work, fans spin up for no reason, graphics card stutters / sometimes there's no hardware acceleration... Actual linux shops like system76, purism, tuxedocomputers, slimbook, and other better hardware, better pricing, and better hardware support.

Dell, Fujitsu, HP, etc. are OK as Linux hardware providers, but it's clear that their main business is till WIndows.

Samsung once used tizen instead of android just like that, Their own distro would increase traction in this platform

[–] ICastFist@programming.dev 3 points 11 months ago

Simply having the option is a good start, but a lot of people would buy those and ask "a friend" to install windows instead. I've seen that happen quite often in the early 2010s

You can (could?) get Thinkpads with Ubuntu preinstalled.

[–] psud@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

ThinkPad is no longer a good computer for GNU/Linux

[–] psud@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

Framework make good laptops that can come with Ubuntu

[–] White_Flight@lemmy.world -3 points 11 months ago

isn't Android based on Linux?
