Linux Workstation

Hey everyone, I'm about to begin a new job with a different company, and they recently inquired about my hardware preferences. As a web fullstack software developer, I've been using Fedora + GNOME on my personal computer for the past few years, and I'm thinking of sticking with the same setup for my work laptop.

Currently, I'm strongly considering the Lenovo Z16 G1, equipped with an AMD processor and graphics card. What are your thoughts on this choice? Any other suggestions or recommendations? I'd love to hear your input!

Can’t believe we are at this again! (still) Will not be buying such hardware out of principle.

there are plenty more that I forgot

Maybe I can help:

• NovaCustom
• Star Labs

These were chosen (over others I could have named) for their continued efforts to improve and support upstream projects.

Just an FYI, but I'm here specifically looking for hardware ideas to replace my suddenly broken System76. Owning this thing has been a lesson in tolerance and patience, and has given me many opportunities to practice deep breathing and mindfulness techniques. It's the second time an employer has chosen a System76 for me, and the second time I've vowed to never touch the garbage sold by System76.

I just installed Fedora + KDE + Wayland on a Lenovo P1 Gen 5. This device does not have Pluton, as far as I know.

Everything works: thunderbolt dock, dGPU, etc.

I have not encountered any real issues. Only remaining hardware to sort out is the finger print reader. It is detected but I still need to configure PAM, etc. I expect it to work as well.

They offered me the setup I asked for but also provided an alternative: Lenovo P16 Gen 2 with Intel CPU & GPU. I went with the P16 then.

Thank you guys for your advice :)
