Hi, I have never owned a linux laptop before and I don't know how I should go about purchasing one. I have a macbook pro which I am quite sick of now and looking for something different. It is also about to go bad. I want my new laptop to use a linux OS but I'm not sure which distro and I'm not sure how to go about purchasing a computer in which I will use a linux distro. Here is what I will be using the computer for:
-Statistal analysis(R, SAS if possible)
-Minor software development
-Video streaming
-Word processing
-Storing and managing music
-Carrying it to class
Here are the minimum hardware specs I would like:
-6 GB RAM
-HDMI port
-Good battery life
-256 GB SSD
-Intel i5 processor
I'm not sure if I should buy a Windows notebook and wipe it and download linux, or I should try and get something pre-installed with linux.
Also, which distribution do you think would fit my needs best? I'm not very good with command line now, but I am looking to get much better because I like what I do know.
Thank you.
