Devuan ascii successfully installed, regularly used on the following laptops:
Lenovo Thinkpad T550 -- the sd card reader does not work (think this is a hardware problem though, I did get a refurbished machine) HP Pavillion - not sure the exact model # These next two ran ascii, then upgraded to beowulf: Toshiba Satellite A135 (i386) Acer Aspire AS7750G The HP has a problem with the builtin wifi adapter (sometimes it works, sometimes it disappears). I believe it's overheating. May replace it someday, but using USB wifi adapter in the meantime. How difficult was it? Not really any more than installing to a desktop. Didn't run into any major problems. The installer didn't seem to be the most intuitive for setting up LVM+LUKS volumes, but it did work, eventually. terryc wrote: > This is a hardware question. > Which brand and model(s) of laptop have people successfully installed > devuan onto? > How difficult was it? > > Thank You In Advance. > > The long story; I finally have a need to purchase my own personal > laptop and have spent the last few days searching for such a beastie > that I can order. > > I have a strong preference to not pay the Microsoft Tax and not waste > my money on bits for which there are no linux drivers.
