Linux laptop recommendation thread🐧💻 (lemmy.world)

I'm on the market to buy a new laptop, and Lemmy has successfully coaxed and goaded me to give Linux a serious try.

I've never used *nix as my personal OS.

Which hardware/laptop do you recommend? And which OS to pair it with for a Linux newbie?

I'm a software engineer, and quit my job to pursue an MSc in AI. So my uses will be:

programming
study
browsing lemmy
gaming

I assume for charging you have to have the USB C one, and have it on a specific slot?

I can't speak for all of the models, but my AMD Framework 13 can charge on any slot. I really like being able to charge from either side of my laptop.

That's actually nice little bonus!
