Dear all,
I was thinking of buying a Cosmos IX. I don't have any particular needs, some occasional gaming (nothing too demanding) or photo editing, but I would like it to be a good laptop and to remain so for some years. I'm not sure the configuration is very well balanced, I would thank feedback on that.
And I would also install Ubuntu only (in principle 21.04). This is my main concern: does anybody know if Ubuntu should run fine or if there are any problems to be expected?
