Find the Perfect Linux Compatible Computer With the Ubuntu Hardware Database
Some PCs are harder to work with Linux than others because of the drivers. Some laptops are available with Linux preinstalled, but many are not, although these may be excellent Linux PCs. The Ubuntu Certified Hardware Database will help you find Linux compatible PCs.
Most computers can run Linux, but some are much simpler than others. Some hardware manufacturers (be they Wi-Fi cards, graphics cards, or other buttons on your laptop) are more Linux-friendly than others, which means installing drivers and getting it running will be less of a hassle.
Linux veterans probably already know about this, but lately several people have asked me how to find laptops that are compatible with Linux and my answer is always the Ubuntu certified hardware database. Even if you don’t use Ubuntu, it will tell you which laptops and desktops from Dell, HP, Lenovo and others are the most suitable for Linux. If you’re looking for a Linux compatible PC, this is a great place to start. However, if it’s not in that database, be sure to check Google – there may be threads on the forum about setting up your Linux laptop.
