What is the best current gaming laptop that comes with Linux pre-installed? I don’t want to “pay Microsoft” by buying a Windows-licensed machine. Please suggest the best value-for-money option (original retail price) with 32 GB or more of RAM. I’m willing to upgrade hardware myself, but I want a high-quality, durable machine — I plan to use this laptop for more than five years.

“What is your budget?”

around $1,400 USD, but if there is a $2000 laptop with higher ratio of quality / price I would choose that one.

“What size do you want?”

Any normal size.

“What screen resolution?”

Any, as long as it’s not 720p.

“Which GPU?”

As good as possible, I care more about highest ratio of quality / price

“And if you want warranty, which country are you in?”

I don’t need a warranty.

    I just saw your other comment where you mention wanting to play CyberPunk 2077. FWIW, it runs great on my Ryzen7 model almost highest settings, so I’m sure it won’t have any issues on the Ryzen9.

    Good luck with the hunt!
