I've gotten too used to the silent Mac Laptops. Struggling to find an equally silent laptop I can use for Linux (and buy in NZ). Why does Apple have to make awesome hardware and also be a horrible company. Distros that work on Mac hardware are too experimental right now, don't recommend them. I know all about them. You're wasting the limited amount of typing you have in this life.
@grumpygamer How about Dell XPS 13?
If the CPU strategy in the BIOS is set to to silent, it does not make any noise at all.
The only problem I found in the one I use is that the keyboard is not very good, but this can be fixed in new units. -

@grumpygamer I've had my current laptop for a few years now, and honestly I don't think I've ever heard it whir a fan. Asus UX563F. It's my daily, always ran Linux on it, and it only gets rebooted about once every two months.
I've had some noisy Acers, HPs, and custom builds, and we have a couple of different generation MS Surfaces that occasionally try to take flight. But this Asus has been an impressive workhorse.

Mint Linux works perfectly on my 2012 MacBook 15โ
@mossyrua @grumpygamer Mine works great too, but it wakes up with the lid closed! Do you have a similar issue? I am guessing my cat moved the external USB mouse.

@vamp898 There are plenty of laptops with big fans. Mostly for GPUs Worldwide shipping is good, but surprisingly few will do it to NZ.

@grumpygamer I use a ThinkPad t14s gen6 which stays silent most of the time (unless I am spinning up all cores for something).
@tante @grumpygamer are you able to use Linux on this yet? Other than Ubuntu?

@vamp898 It's hard to get anyone to ship to NZ, I am stuck with whaat local retailers have.

@grumpygamer That is something i hate to admit but Apple, thanks to their religious cult following them, do have the advantage to be available almost everywhere. Notebooks, Smartphones, as soon NASA starts running their Moon Base, pretty sure there will be an Apple Store there soon too

@vamp898 If I could I'd buy a nice M1 or M2 and install Linux. That is still a ways away from being solid.

@rubenerd Thank you. Life flows, we gather experiences and, sometimes, there's the urge to put those feelings in words.
When I was younger, I used to do it using music. But I wasn't that great, so I stopped. Now, I'm not great with words, too, but at least I try ๐
