I’m looking at buying a new laptop which will run EndeavourOS exclusively, no dual boot no modding no nothing.

The choice is either Lenovo or MSI (neither have NVidea grahpics and both have intel i5/i7 chips with integrated graphichs).

Which brand is likely to be more Linux friendly?

There’s also an option for a Asus but again i’m only looking at whether i’m likely to run into Linux issues, the specs are virtually the same for all.

    From my experience MSI has been solid. Changed the battery once in 6 years of ownership. Others have had shitty times with hinges and such. However I have an nvidia version and although I don’t struggle with things, VMware hates nvidia and needs the integrated Intel GPU. I use Mint btw.
