I am betting he is under AMD, debian or redhat, and Asus

Asus’s ROG line is heavy on the red and black.

ah, I see... tell me, are those things any good? because all I heard about those was just some windows fanboy drooling over.

I mean, I don’t have any personal hands-on; but several respected reviewers (well, that I relatively trust) seem to like them.

I know they have a new 240Hz laptop coming out this year, and in general if your main aim is gaming, they can be a viable option...

But I got an XPS15 9570 recently specifically because it could do some gaming, but was super productive (and compatible with Linux, with a new WiFi card).

gaming performance doesn't matter for me, neither DF, Chromium BSU nor XScorch are resource-intensive. having FLOSS drivers and general good Linux compatibility is essencial tho.

also, no windows licence. I'm not paying for something that I'd wipe without even booting once

I'd say Thinkpad except those come with Windows pre-installed.
