I’m looking at buying a new laptop which will run EndeavourOS exclusively, no dual boot no modding no nothing.

The choice is either Lenovo or MSI (neither have NVidea grahpics and both have intel i5/i7 chips with integrated graphichs).

Which brand is likely to be more Linux friendly?

There’s also an option for a Asus but again i’m only looking at whether i’m likely to run into Linux issues, the specs are virtually the same for all.

    For specific device recommendations, you seem to be particularly interested in making use of Black Friday deals, and thus I’d assume that price is an important factor. Unfortunately, most Linux-first vendors aren’t particularly known for offering great buck for your money. This does make it easier to choose, though.

    Sadly yes, budget is important, additionally System76/Framework are out as they don’t ship to my location and are quite out of my budget unfortunately and I’d rather not use a shipping agent. Given all the advice that’s been given I think the points everyone has made are especially valid and I should wait until more funds are available and purchase a more suitable laptop.

    I’m looking at slimbook as they can deliver with EndeavourOS OOB but still will be a harder delivery option but also have more budget options.
