Hey all. Going to take advantage of dellrefurbished sale. Dell is all abour Ubuntu. But I’d like to play around with LMDE.
Anyone running LMDE on Dell Precision? If so, how’d it go?
Edit: oh well, dellrefurbished doesn’t ship to Canada. Question still stands.
Been running LMDE on a m6600 for years. Does everything i want.
Well, that settles it then, I’ll retire my wife’s m6800 to me and get her a newer refurbished!
up to AMD Ryzen 7XXX and Intel 13xxx Should Work just fine, and at most you may have to use the Debian backport Kernel 6.5 soon to be 6.6, and or pop a new wifi card in it as Dell ships some shitty wifi cards.
https://backports.debian.org/ btw LMDE has backports enabled by default.
I have a new Dell laptop with LMDE on it. The laptop works just fine, all my apps are from flathub other then the ones that shipped with LMDE.
Have dabbled with LMDE on several 2-4 years old Dell XPS models, which are basically the same hardware as in the Precision models.
What I tested all worked fine, including automated BIOS updates through LMDE itself.
It would depend on the actual laptop in question though, as those lines come in a wild variety of possible hardware options.
