Desk vs Laptop

[Dorian Douma]

I think it depends more on who makes the hardware than whether it's a
desktop or laptop. I know that some component manufacturers are better
supported than others, so with a desktop you've got the opportunity to
build or pick a system that uses the most linux-compatible parts, but
with a laptop you have the advantage of being able to find one that's
been built with open compatibility in mind, or at least is
well-supported.

So I'd make your decision based on what kind of portability you want,
and then look carefully into which selection you make.
