Which laptop and distro would you recommend for a Linux newb (someone who has never used Linux)? Preferably hardware with decent battery life and isn’t horribly slow.
Update: Walked away with this Dell Inspiron i5 3520 with Best Buy’s black friday deal: https://www.bestbuy.com/site/sku/6553026.p
I hear the e14 is nice.
It is, although it doesn’t have water spilling protection as older models do. The quality of assembling isn’t as good, some parts feel quite weak and easy to break (this hasn’t actually happened to me, though)
