I feel a bit disheartened that this site took 30 seconds to load, then got as far as "What is the fediverse" then buffered until erroring out a minute later. Either the video has gained no traction and thus no peers (bad) or adding more people to the site crashed it (even worse). Can we not do better?
Bought an XPS 15 9500 last March, ticks these boxes for me. I think these laptops are underrated as Linux machines, frequently overshadowed by ThinkPads.
- Good linux support, only had to manually install one driver.
- Good durability. I'm very careless with my devices, all my laptops have broken at the hinges at least once. This one has held up after multiple hard drops.
- Very quiet, fan noise barely noticeable even under load.
- You can upgrade the memory
- Easy to take apart and service as a user, which is great since I'm going to break something and have to service it eventually. Dell XPSs have always been the best for this IMO, at least of the mainstream laptops I've used.
TLDR:
Good combo of linux+repairable+quality+rugged
