Well i started my B tech course this year, I am looking for a laptop for my use case. I am using linux as a main os for 3 years.

The laptop which i currently use is a Dell Inspiron N5110. Its a pretty old machine so i am currently looking for an upgrade.

Things which I do :

  1. Read documents
  2. Watch videos and listen to music
  3. Light coding
  4. Tinker with almost everything
  5. Try new software if i can.

I REALLY need a a laptop with good cooling and battery life like 5 hours is fine.

https://linuxpreloaded.com/ has a lot of linux compatible laptop-vendors.

Dunno where you are, so can't recommend a specific laptop. Guessing from your currency I'd guess NA and looking at linux-preloaded, boy are there few options from non-oligopoly vendors in NA :/ And what the fuck are those prices in NA? Laptops with 16GB for 3kCAD? Bruh.

You might have to shell out money to a corp that cares little for linux. Maybe these guys have a good list of affordable laptops https://laptopmountain.com/collections/linux

Im in India and for 16 GB will come in the price but the processor would be like a pentium.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
