I just received my Framework laptop recently, installed Fedora 36 + KDE Plasma, and even though it took some tweaking to get a close to my Mac behaviour, it works perfect. I had 0 driver problems. So it looks like Linux on the desktop seems to be getting there. And the best part, with this laptop, no shop needed to replace the battery, I can do it myself.

For the battery part, any boring Dell Latitude is no worse. As probably are other common business laptops. It’s much easier in most of the world actually – your local dealer might have one in stock, no need to ship overseas. And Linux support for this machines is pretty decent too, a good trade-off over peculiarities of modern Windows at least. It’s been like this for about 10 years already, in my experience running Ubuntu and lately Mint on mid-range laptops as a tech-savvy user who hates tinkering with OS setup.
