Based on past experience, I am favoring HP, because AFAIK they mostly play fair about Libre drivers
Good afternoon I'd like to agree that HP plays fair with drivers. A friend bought a HP laptop last year. His favoured distro is Mint(bunt) which I have found provided good support for ALL wifi. But he had to buy a plug-in USB dongle wifi. Admittedly, we haven't been able to meet face to face long enough to try harder with him. I suggested he try a new Mint Edge complete with kernel 5.11, but he can't find his toy. I reckon my wifi is working much better than ever with the 5.11 kernel I sat listening to Keith Packard at linux.conf.au 2016, quite impressed with his support for OSS in general. Pity about this wifi card in his laptop. And no, I don't know model details. It was pretty cheap. -- All the best Keith Bainbridge keith.bainbridge.3...@gmail.com
