Assuming you had a valid reason for needing to spend <$1000 on a piece of hardware, then obviously you should use the OS that completes that task most efficiently.

I have thought about this or first installing linux and playing with it without committing to linux only. I have done this before but on shitty laptops, this laptop would be a top notch system with state of the art tech, i don't know if it is good for linux though

>but a laptop that is so expensive wouldn't it make sense to just keep it windows based?
The fuck does the price of hardware have to do with anything?
But if that concerns you, you MUST install linux, since all the most expensive hardware (servers, supercomputers…) runs linux. And on the consumer end, all expensive laptops are apple, and those run a unix variant, which for all intesive purposes is roughly a linux.

>>The laptop is over a grand and has a lot of good hardware
Or are you having a gaming laptop?

>>62233302
It doesn't matter what hardware you have if you value privacy you should go with Linux.

I am waiting for zenbook ux370, it will be my only machine running windows

I have never spent more than 300 bucks only any electronic device. If you are over 700, you are getting ripped off.

I use an HP Slimline from 2005 running XP that isn't connected to the net to back up my iPhone and import ringtones. Not even 2 gb of ram, but it serves the purpose it needs to.

I delete my backups after each successful update.

Which is sometimes Linux.

The meme started when everyone were told buy outdated hardware and install Linux on it.
