Dells and Lenovos both have a lot of their hardware supported in most major Linux distributions.

I run Gentoo on two Dells without any major issues. I really prefer Linux over MacOS and have been lucky that at my last three jobs I've been able to use Linux natively on my work laptops/desktops. Using a tiling window manager like i3 also make things so much easier as well. It may not look as pretty, but from a utility standpoint, it's far above the usability of MacOS for developers.



Thanks for the tip. Bought an X1 pre-owned yesterday and am planning to try native Mint on it.
