I am debating on moving over full-time to Linux and picking up a laptop from https://puri.sm/
the hardware and open drivers are the most annoying thing when finding a laptop for Linux it seems. Almost everyone uses terrible wireless hardware or does not fully support the highest resolution or something strange. I am hoping https://puri.sm/ has that all figured out.

PureOS was not a great experience for me and I'm using Ubuntu (budgie) now.

Yeah, I would be running Gentoo so on their laptops. It just seems the hardware compatibility for these are WAY better than most on the market today

How is the hardware under Ubuntu? I've been eyeing up a Purism laptop as a successor for a Macbook Air that's getting a little long in the tooth.

Hardware compatibility for Apple laptops is horrendous! I wish they would just open their drivers to the community at large! I would run *nix on an Apple Laptop no problem.

Well on the Macbook Air, I'm running OSX, err macOS. Been running Mac on laptop and linux on desktop for a while now, but the last couple of iterations of both Macbook and macOS have been weak on the basics. Soo, I'm eyeing up the Purism laptops.
