Hey all. I've recently swapped to Linux and I've been really enjoying it so far. I'm still pretty new to basically every aspect of it, though, so I'm not super sure what things I should be wary of with regard to hardware, in particular with Mint.

I was looking at buying a newer laptop to keep up with my main game, but it occurred to me that newer hardware may come with either a host of issues or be less supported than older hardware.

Any advice for laptops in this regard?

Oof, thanks for the heads up. I honestly think I have a pretty good list of components to double check at this point and it's driving me away from anything bleeding edge. Whatever I end up getting, it'll be something that's new-ish right now, but I'll be buying it a year from now.
