  • Literally whatever is in your price range. If you can swing an i7, something relatively new like gen 6 or higher. If not i5 gen 6 or higher. Recommend at least 16 GB ram, 32 preferable. Make sure it comes with a working battery and charger. Anything else is your preference, like does it have a VGA port? Or HDMI? Or a disk drive. Or flash card port. A GPU is a huge plus for gaming if desired. Model doesn’t matter as much as specs do.

    I replied this to someone else gonna put it here:

    Kinda a shit take. Canonical is very generous with licensing. They give you 5 free personal licenses per account AND they license per physical host which is practically unheard of now. Like everything is per VM or container or CPUs or sockets etc now. One pro license on an ESXi host could have hundreds of VMs and Canonical is OK with that.

    Source: I work with and use ubuntu pro. Canonical’s alright in my book. More than I can say for the RHEL team
