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.

    The battery is pretty much the only reason I’m looking into upgrading to the latest board. To be honest the fact this is a possibility even on first gen is pretty dope.

      Are the batteries not changeable? Maybe I’m missing something, but it sounds like the batteries are hardwired to the motherboard.

        No no the battery is replaceable. Some battery issues were fix on later gen (e.g. draining while in sleep if an HDMI module is connected). So replacing the main board effectively upgrades you to the latest specs.
