Hello folks, I am currently in the market for a new laptop and I want to hear from people who have hand-on experience with Linux laptops. I am currently looking at framework and tuxedo laptops, but I know very little about these companies and have a hard time finding anyone who have actually used one of their laptops.

I would appreciate getting in touch with anyone having direct hand-on experience with products from these companies (or another company that you feel should be considered) and let me know what you think of their products and the company itself.

I am interested in companies that support the right to repair and offer good warranties for their products and I need a laptop with modern hardware and a low weight.

    A friend of mine has had a Tuxedo laptop for about 6 years now. Afaik she is rather happy with it, but personally I don’t like it. The fan is extremely loud, the build quality feels rather flimsy and a small 1 foot drop broke the plastic covers at the hinges. But then again, this device is like 6 years old, maybe they are better now.
