Hey all. Going to take advantage of dellrefurbished sale. Dell is all abour Ubuntu. But I’d like to play around with LMDE.
Anyone running LMDE on Dell Precision? If so, how’d it go?
Edit: oh well, dellrefurbished doesn’t ship to Canada. Question still stands.

Yes. The installed kernel version is what defines your general compatibility with hardware, not the actual distribution you choose.
That’s a good clarification - different distributions may have different versions of the Linux kernel. So you may see “It works on Ubuntu but not Fedora” due to them shipping different versions of the kernel. But typically that would be due to recently added support (the distribution using a newer kernel works). Eventually things homogenize.
