Im currently studying and im starting to do some programming relatively soon, since i only have a desktop i am in need of a laptop, i wasn't sure where to post this because this mixes both Linux and Laptop Tech subforums.
I have a few questions:
1- Whatever brand i use, whatever laptop i buy with whatever OS included, can i install Linux (OpenSuse) on it?
Called a tech but he wasn't very descriptive but he did say that samsung is not easy or possible to swap OS but needed to change a BIOS setting which comes to the question if all motherboards have this setting on the BIOS.
2- If im getting a linux laptop for programming will any celeron processor like the n2830 or 1037U be decent enough to run few programs like a browser, and a few other tools? Would it take too long to compile things?
I had one laptop in mind, but i heard hardware might also give compatibility issues, would this one work fine with opensuse?
Asus F551MAV-SX652B celeron n2830 processor, integrated graphics, 4gb ram, and more
Thanks for reading!
