Best laptop for Music Production on Linux?

Apple

Why not thinkpad x220?

Anything with an i5/i7/Ryzen 5/Ryzen 7 and 16GB of RAM, SSD is mandatory. Buy an external DAC, like a Fiio K1 which is cheap, good and portable.

anything from this decade, you fucking brainlet

Install a desktop OS and some software that required a monetary intensive to make good, not some broken commieware.

Do you play guitar with one of your hands chopped off too?

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.

Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called "Linux", and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.

There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called "Linux" distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.

Yeah get Windows

Any recent (2011 and newer) thinkpad that has a Full HD screen

Apple for battery life,

Windows anything for less money. There is no clear 'best' laptop at all in the non-macbook world and you're gonna be gambling to a degree with small things like fan noise and chassis construction.

Consider an audio interface instead of a dedicated DAC.

>macshit
>battery life

Idk what those testing conditions translate into as far as real life use but 2 colleagues have macbooks of different years they just seem to stay on forever. I'm biased only having used laptops that die in 4-5hrs max for web browsing/homework.

If they suck they suck just don't be a dumb consumer OP and you'll be ok.

>just don't be a dumb consumer OP and you'll be ok.
This. Ignore morons recommending macs.

>only having used laptops that die in 4-5hrs
That's not that bad if laptop is with intel M/H/HQ cpu. If you want more than that, you need a laptop with shitty ultrabook U cpu and no dedicated gpu or be prepared to have a bulky laptop if you want performance as well as battery life.

What the heck is even this question haha
user lurk moar

Enjoy white noise

>required a monetary intensive to make good
Are you usually this fucking retarded?Fuck is that DAW? Kys.

Choose one.

Why? Gnu/Linux is so bad for pro musicians? What do you think about Gentoostudio with 64GB ram?

To be fair, Bitwig Studio, Reaper and Renoise runs very well and there are some nice native VSTs out there. You can even run some Windows VSTs nowadays with wine and linvst. Of course not everything works and it's a bit unstable, but it's still under development and I had a good experience with Fabfilter and Madrona labs stuff.
Just like with games, Linux has made a good amount of progress during the last decade, and I want to eliminate Windows from my life, so I'm happy with what I can get.
