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.

    Generally speaking, if Ubuntu works, LMDE will work as well. Unless you have something that is brand brand new with drivers only located in a bleeding edge kernel, you shouldn’t have any issues.

    I have LMDE on an old XPS17 and it actually worked with less fuss than standard Ubuntu, mainly because of compatibility with a truly ancient wireless chipset.
