Do all laptops support Linux?

Most computers can run Linux, but some are much easier than others. Certain hardware manufacturers (whether it’s Wi-Fi cards, video cards, or other buttons on your laptop) are more Linux-friendly than others, which means installing drivers and getting things to work will be less of a hassle.

Can I buy a laptop with Linux installed?

It’s actually possible to buy a laptop that comes with Linux preinstalled. This is a good option if you’re serious about Linux and just want your hardware to work. It’s not just the fact that Linux is preinstalled—you can do that yourself in a few minutes—but that Linux will be properly supported.
