    Not the only option but the one that historically gave me the best support, usually when my Apple laptop has an issue it is a couple of days out and it will come back as new. The articule talks about everything that is not a pixel phone, that includes the pixel book that cannot be fixed , and in my case the display failed, I was able to boot with an external monitor. I was out of warranty, so google told me to pay to replace, almost 60 or 70 percent of what it cost. I declined and vowed to never buy another google hardware again.















  • I recently got a workstation class desktop for my home server and I had so many issues with Debian that I have to search an alternative, Ubuntu supported the hardware natively and I even got a firmware update. I think the hate is really unfounded. Of course there is corporate decisions, but so far it has never get in my way. I have it with a lot of docker containers and a lot hardware integrations. Even the secure boot with nvdia card is easy. I only installed virt-manager via snap, the other things were directly with apt. I did enable the live patch and that’s a nice addition to don’t need to restart a lot.

    I think you should give it a try, so far it has worked for me.
