Linux On Razer Blade



So I'm a software dev and experimented with Ubuntu a lot, although had a MacBookPro as my main machine. As a machine, I can say that I don't see any particular change in the RBS if compared to the build quality of an Apple device (plus, it's more powerful and less expensive). Full thumbs up there: I have the entry-point model (QHD).

Razer Blade Stealth 13 2019 problem with install ubuntu in DUAL-BOOT Hi folks! I tried to install ubuntu 19.04 on my Razer Blade Stealth 13 2019, but encountered on the problem. This very much depends on your use case and what you want. If you need the machine just to do some coding, then hell no. With Razer it is like with watches. You can buy extremely expensive watches with nice design where you basically pay for the b.

As for Linux, I've tried Ubuntu (Unity, KDE, Gnome, Cinnamon, Mint...) but had problems in scaling on all of them and quite a few bugs. Was tempted by Arch with Manjaro but couldn't even start the bootloader. Then tried Antergos with Gnome and I was blown away. HiDPI works out of the box and it's quite stable: also the KillerWireless works even with the bootloader so no need to buy nasty ethernet adaptors there.

Kali Linux On Razer Blade Stealth

I do have to say 'quite' stable: the webcam is still buggy on some apps (Hangouts) and there are issues when you close the lid (better to press the power button to suspend first). Apart from this, being used to rebuild the kernel after each Ubuntu release, I do have to say I'm quite bored by the stability of Antergos ;-)

Battery usage is quite ok actually, haven't tested against Windows but it's a solid 5-6 hours with real usage (Spotify, Vim, 20 tabs open, the usual shebang...). Overall for me it's a buy, I've waited 6 months for the RBS to be available in the UK and I'm not regretting the choice.
