Hey, I wanna know your preferred laptops, used is better and to run Linux on it. Something with at least 16gb and 512 SSD is good. Budget range. Thank you!

i bought the tuxedo nano (a mini pc but decently powerful), and its not 100% linux compatible. i imagine its better if you install their own distro (maybe) but running arch linux with the standard kernel on it, i’ve had issues with HPET/TSC (some cpu timekeeping stuff, ruined performance when it happened), the wifi card it came with is known to have issues and i’ve had plenty (usable, but super slow bandwidth depending on what AP i connect to, and no its not the AP all other devices work fine on it), and some lockups when my usb microphone is connected (sometimes it only crashed the usb hub which i could reset).
NONE of these issues are present running arch linux on my old desktop and 2 work laptops. Support wasnt helpful either.
However, its still my main device, i just had to work around these issues.
edit oh, and the fan is not controllable from linux at all, i’ve spent hours trying to find a way. i do not know if it’s controllable from windows either, maybe it’s just the mainboard that doesn’t allow fan control at all outside of the UEFI settings.
