I daily drive my framework 13 since the first batch, upgraded twice the mobo. I run it on arch Linux, 0 issue whatsoever even after a year bringing it on site like the Texan boonies or on boats in the middle of the golf of Mexico … Compatibility wise with linux, 100% of the peripherals work, even the finger reader thing.

You’ll get a laptop sized to your budget and you’ll be able to grow with it, upgrade any part your budget will allow in the future.

Their linux support is excellent.

It is kind of shooting at the ambulance, zoom needs to also adapt to the new API. The alternative is a completely non functional Wayland for videoconferencing for years… Unusable stable is not better than unstable usable IMHO at least you have a shot at fixing it for the second option.

It drives me crazy. Just release it 18+months ago and iterate with versions, at least your users will have the feature in their hands.
