This may not be very helpful but have you looked at System 76 (https://system76.com/laptops (https://link.getmailspring.com/link/[email protected]/1?redirect=https%3A%2F%2Fsystem76.com%2Flaptops&recipient=Y2x1Zy10YWxrQGNsdWcuY2E%3D) ) laptops at all? I run their Linux distro and its very good (its ubuntu based).

I am also open to returning this and getting something that is not going to be a problem. I just don't have a lot of time to sort this out. Can someone give me some suggestions on a good laptop that would work for linux distros. I was thinking of something up to $800 that would be a good solution. Something that is fairly compact that I could carry in a packsack, fairly durable. Would consider something used that is fairly recent.
