Hello All,

I'm being tempted by an ASUS laptop - ASUS-Vivobook-M3407HA - and I'm
wondering if anyone has experience with Debian and this product? It
is supplied with Windows 11 pre-installed and I look forward to
eliminating that infection, if Debian is practical.

Many thanks in advance.

Have you checked the Linux hardware database?

No. I'll be buying on-line, sight unseen, hence my specific query about ASUS. If there was a reliable computer vendor within 10 miles I would obviously go and test various machines for compatibility with a Trixie stick, but there isn't.

Normally I would go Dell, or HP but I've picked up some negatives on this list, hence the query about ASUS.



There are also Linux specific hardware vendors such as https:// system76.com/ .

If they had an outlet in the UK I would investigate them, but...

We can also cite:

https://slimbook.com

See above.

Many thanks for all the replies.

Cheers,
Jerome
