Dell bets big on Ubuntu Linux laptops for developers
Given the state of GPU drivers on Linux someone may end up capturing a bit of this market by launching a great AMD CPU+GPU laptop with a good Zen 2 APU or CPU+GPU pairing. These days you end up having to choose good drivers but poor performance (Intel) or good performance but poor drivers (Nvidia)[1]. The open-source AMD drivers are supposedly finally good and Zen 2 a great CPU on the desktop. So I&#x27;d love a Lenovo X1 Carbon with AMD for my next laptop[2].<p>[1] Before anyone comes in to defend Nvidia, the closed-source drivers may be great for you but the closed-source nature of them means you have to jump through some hoops to install them and some things will simply not work properly (e.g., actual Wayland support)<p>[2] Bonus points for 1) ECC RAM 2) 32GB+ total RAM 3) 2 or more full-speed SSD slots
