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.

As a Dell user, not very happy with mine. Uneven backlight/bleeding, poor build quality (screen glass misaligned with the bezels, keyboard keys coming out which aren’t covered under warranty according to Dell, parts of the keyboard failing, trackpad click failing - the trackpad is integrated into the chassis so that had to be replaced) and it’s quite overpriced.

That said, some models are Ubuntu certified and get firmware updates without Windows Update
