I love my framework. Ubuntu and Fedora work out of the box. I didn’t like the glossy screen but they even fixed that. The only problem is that I cannot justify to replace a 1 year old screen just because it’s glossy.
I don’t think I’m in the market for a new laptop for a while, but when I next am, I think my main requirements are going to be Linux compatibility (no or near zero issues) and battery life.
It’s okay. I get about 2-3h of discord, 3-4h of programming and 5h of browsing the web. Since they fixed the issue with the display extension cards it even holds charge in sleep mode pretty well. Unfortunately, nothing compared to the M1 MacBook I have to use for work but still decent.
The benefits of Linux is that older hardware may have strong driver support.
I have a Razer Blade. It used to have issues waking from suspend. When I’ve tried to use integrated graphics instead of Nvidia to try to squeeze more battery life, that issue returned and the old fix doesn’t seem to work.I also have had problems where it was getting frozen on the lock screen.
I’d like it if my next laptop had better Linux support. Good drivers, good battery life.

How is the battery life?

I haven’t used mine very heavily but it’s good for several hours even when I limit charging to 60%.
I have Ubuntu running on a 9 year old Dell. What’s the issue with compatibility? Is that even an issue anymore?
