Dell’s gamble on Linux laptops has paid off
As a 20 year Linux user I really appreciate Dells support in proving the market exists. This improved support across all manufacturers.<p>I&#x27;ve recently acquired a HP Envy 13 2017 laptop with Windows preinstalled. I&#x27;ve really wanted to try Windows out, but after installing Google Chrome and Docker (1hr after starting it up) it stopped working - windows boot up into a blank black screen.<p>In a hurry I&#x27;ve downloaded Ubuntu 17.10, clicked yes and I had a working OS in 15 minutes time. With everything (suspend, broadcom card, USBC video,...) working out of the box.<p>Super impressed.<p>If you&#x27;re a developer there&#x27;s no UX reason to go Windows anymore.
