Linux is a good operating system choice for laptops. But sometimes problems may occur when configuring the hardware. Especially Suspend-to-RAM, internal card readers and modems can cause problems or some peripherals are even not supported. Often these problems are caused by the lack of support for Free and Open Source Software from laptop manufacturers. Here the Linux community helps itself and describes benefits and possible problems when installing Linux on a laptop.

TuxMobil collects links to Linux installation reports for laptops and notebooks. To find a suitable report, look up a machine in a list ordered by manufacturers or conduct a search ordered by CPU or Linux distribution.
