  • @Thomas-Ward this is not duplicate of https://askubuntu.com/questions/333795/what-are-the-system-requirements-for-each-flavour-of-ubuntu-desktop.I'm read it. – mi12 Nov 05 '20 at 17:19
  • "I want to buy a new computer" - "is Ubuntu sutiable for [this computer]" - sounds like you're asking whether your system meets the requirements to use Ubuntu. Either way, the question is too broad and not going to be grounded in fact per the guidelines set in Help Center, so it's still closeable. – Thomas Ward Nov 05 '20 at 17:46

  • @Thoms-ward I'm very disappointed with this answer. I'm new to Linux, and I can not try if the computer is suitable for Ubuntu because I want to buy it, I do not have it yet, and I do not want to buy and find that it is not suitable. I asked if Ubuntu would support the computer's hardware (video card, network card, wifi, touchpad, audio card, and the like). I do not understand what the problem is with the question, and I am very disappointed with the response to my first post. – mi12 Nov 05 '20 at 18:20
  • Not 20.04 or 20.10, because the Intel graphics driver is problematic with recent Linux kernels. Use Ubuntu 18.04 LTS. See https://askubuntu.com/questions/1288395/system-is-unusable-after-upgrade-to-20-10-i915-gpu-hang – Carl H Nov 05 '20 at 18:28

    @mi12 the problem is if everyone asked "Does [random computer] work with Ubuntu?" we'd have a billion opinion driven questions not necessarily any guarantees on any real answers. We tend to discourage those types of questions, which is why you got the response you've gotten. As for your system, it may be able to support Ubuntu (I've had good luck with Dell systems and Ubuntu support) but there's no way to guarantee it'll work. – Thomas Ward Nov 05 '20 at 21:54
  • @chv It is still an outstanding issue. My laptop has Intel graphics and the i915 driver, and does not work at all with 20.10. – Carl H Nov 06 '20 at 06:59
