I've been using Dell laptops exclusively for many years, but the last purchase was Lenovo Thinkbook 16inch with decent Ryzen. I just liked the specs. The machine works pretty well (Windows) but has some issues I never had with Dell, for example suspend/resume doesn't work reliably, laptop is often unresponsive for some time after wake up, sometimes it doesn't detect a second monitor and I need to unplug it and connect again. And maybe one or two more quirks. So Im not sure what to choose for next laptop. Would be great if Dell offered professional line of laptops with recent AMD processors, but for some reason they don't

The downside to running Linux on Dell laptops is that the speakers are not fully functional and will only output a narrow band of frequencies. Compare the same laptop running windows and the difference in sound quality is night and day. Otherwise the laptops work quite well. I’m currently running Fedora on an XPS 9520 with no issues other than subpar sound quality.
