I've been doing my programming on an HP laptop running Windows for two years now, but a few months ago I decided to fully switch to Linux.
I am highly unsatisfied with my HP and want to purchase a new laptop. But I have no idea what to buy.

So which laptop could you recommend me that is fully compatible with Linux?

My price range is around 1000-1200 euro.
I care about portability, compatibility, and flexibility.

Dell has an Ubuntu version of XPS

x201. i've had it for 4 years running arch. i heard good things about x220 but i prefer the compact size of the x201

Even the standard edition XPS runs Linux out of the box perfectly.

Which HP? Pavilion?
Because I've had several ProBooks and EliteBooks over the years and had no problems.
Except Bluetooth on my 455 G1 doesn't work on Linux, but I've never used it even on Windows so it's OK.

Anyway, if you really hate HP that much, other laptops with good Linux support are Lenovo ThinkPads and Dell XPS.

OP here

I've checked out the laptops by System76, but I've read that quite a lot of people are unsatisfied with their products.

The Librem 13 looks good, but is quite expensive. Is it worth the money?

I'll be sure to do more research on the Lenovo Thinkpads and Dell XPS, they look quite interesting.

The Dell XPS 13 looks quite interesting. I'll be sure to check it out.

I see the x201 only has 4GB RAM, is this upgradeable? think I want to go with at least 8.
The x220 looks interesting.

It was a really cheap model since I wasn't sure what study I was going to choose.
But it's more that I'm unsatisfied with their customer service.
I sent my laptop for repair twice, and they returned it more broken each time.
Only thing I get when I contact them is some shitty excuse that they can't help it because they use "external repairing services" and they I can send it for repair again and that it won't happen again.
Classmates of mine had similar situations, maybe HP is just shitty in my country but I'd prefer not to take the risk and go with another company for now.

The /tpg/ has retired support for the x200.

You can use me_cleaner on an x201. Unless you want trannyboot also which doesn't work currently.

This isn't an issue in 2017.
