[sclug] Recommendation for Laptop for Linux

[Olivier Lauret]

Novatech looks nice but I can definitely see online some issues with
trackpad on Linux. As I'm commuting quite a lot, it's quite important for
me.

Linux Emporium website doesn't seem to work anymore. I cannot see any items.

Nice article on the everydaylinuxuser. I have heard that Lenovo and HP was
quite good with Linux, but I don't know about Acer, Asus and Samsung.

I am starting to bend on a System76 laptop as it seems 100% supported on
Ubuntu, but not fully decided yet.

Thanks again for your help.
Regards,
Olivier
