> I see much more often people with Macs who cant project anything because they dont have the right adapter to begin with.

Yes, as a regular Linux user I've never had major issues with presentations from Linux, but I've seen Mac users stumble many times for this exact reason.

If possible, have multiple output options built into your laptop. I have both HDMI and VGA on my current laptop and this has proved quite useful over the past few years.

Agree. I have VGA and DP, and VGA is a life saver sometimes when you are at a venue that has only analog input. And frankly, VGA works very nicely for projecting static images anyway, which is what most presentations do.
