   Folks who might be looking to move from Windows to Linux: another option, if it’s financially feasible for you and you don’t want to mess with installing Linux, is to sell your Windows machine and buy a Linux one.

   Yep, they exist.

   Folks like @starlabs in the UK, @tuxedocomputers in the EU, and @system76 in the US sell Linux machines that just work out of the box.

     Thinking of buying system76. Any feedback on the quality of their computers?

     @AstaMcCarthy @mauricepinzon @starlabs @tuxedocomputers @system76 Unless I’m missing something, frame.work doesn’t come with Linux pre-installed and running (it only does that for Windows). You can install Linux yourself on the DIY model so it’s more for enthusiasts.

     @mauricepinzon @aral @starlabs @tuxedocomputers @system76 Their build quality is fine. I have met several happy customers.
     You could also look at https://frame.work and https://puri.sm

     @pthane @starlabs @tuxedocomputers @system76 @tanquist Yeah. Sadly, the HDMI out on mine never worked properly.

     @aral
     Also Pinebook Pro for a basic laptop. Only in US I think but I imported mine to UK without to much expense or hassle.

     @alx I’m sure some folks would disagree but I really think Fedora Silverblue is the best distribution right now (it’s what I use myself):

     Additional bonus: you never have to worry about updates. They just work.

     @aral I already have a spare Windows laptop that I wanted to use to install Linux and start exploring it. Any advice for a dummy non-developer like me to start (even just a link with instructions)
