You can get the basic but I just wanted to see what it was about. <br /><br />I have been using Linux for a little while and have distro hopped a bit too. I found having several laptops to test with was great. I found that Dell publishes their drivers to Canonical the ones that make Ubuntu Linux so that you may have best experience with Dells. I may have bias against Intel Chips, however based on my experience I had choppy playback with a 155U intel chip and using the latest 25.02 Ubuntu Desktop release had choppy video playback and dropped frames. So my suggestion is to avoid Non-Ryzen Non-Amd laptops like Intel because it seems to need too much software support to make their chips run correct. So it might rule out some OLED models as they are mostly Intel part numbers. <br /><br />I use an 8tb Encrypted WD Black Drive<br /><br />Here are items I recommend for your Zorin Install: <br /><br />- GET ZORIN HERE: https://zorin.com/os/<br />- HOW TO INSTALL ZORIN Linux: https://help.zorin.com/docs/getting-started/install-zorin-os/ <br />- FLASH DRIVES I MAKE FOR INSTALLABLE MEDIA: <br />https://amzn.to/3TVULmt 16GB USB 3.0 Flash Drive Bulk<br />- iFixit Screwdrive Kit I use for upgrading my laptop Drive and Ram: <br />https://amzn.to/4lJnh76<br />- LAPTOP Memory to Upgrade 16gb to 32gb: <br />https://amzn.to/3UpGTB3 Timetec 32GB KIT(2x16GB) DDR4 3200MHz<br />- 4TB SSD DRIVE: <br />https://amzn.to/4lGDutA Samsung 990 PRO SSD 4TB PCIe 4.0 M.2 2280 <br />- 8TB SSD DRIVE: <br />https://amzn.to/4f5dTIj WD_BLACK 8TB SN850X NVMe<br /><br />- See all my videos here: https://www.youtube.com/@wisebuyreviews/videos <br /><br />- Youtube Version: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CvF12q_XsmE <br />- Bitchute: https://old.bitchute.com/video/yEm
