On the desktop, I've had an extremely positive experience using Ubuntu for the
past few years. Honestly, at this point I find it easily a better desktop
experience than Windows or macOS. However, I've so far stuck to macOS for my
laptops and iOS for my other devices mostly because I tend to need more
reliability for these (and a bit of my own bias).

With how toy-ified iOS is and the progressively worse state (imo) of macOS-
running hardware, I've started considering other options more seriously. Are
there any tablet PCs that work well with Ubuntu?

I'm in a similar place, with Mint on a desktop and laptop for some time now.
The real issue is never on the desktop: it always runs fine. However, the
laptop seems to have developed driver issues over time, to the point where the
trackpad requires special care and feeding... The little nooks and crannies of
laptop drivers remain the single reason I think Linux is so hard to get right
on laptops. The successful users I know all have Thinkpads.

Linux is the OS I need to reinstall every few months. It's like where Windows
was during 7. I think a big reason is that if version 0.1.0 installs a config
file, version 0.9.3 won't override it- even if it has better defaults.

Fwiw, my 13" Dell Inspiron 7000 runs Ubuntu Mate 18.04 as flawless as one can
ask for. The Mate installer handled all the drivers, as well. I didn't have to
install a thing manually.

Touchpad works fine; haven't dealt with any palm rejection problems. Full
disclosure, I have it docked most of the time. But, I've used the trackpad
enough that I should have noticed any problems if they existed.

I know XPS is default answer for new Linux laptops, but this Inspiron 7000 has
been great so far.
