Hello i’m searching for buy a laptop, i want to set a Linux OS but i didn’t chose yet if you want u can recommend SO also, but i want a rolling release one, what i want is a laptop to carry practically everywhere, my budget is 500€ but if i like it too much it could go up to 1100, I need minimun of 16GB because when i work i don’t close the tabs, once i’ve stacked up to 258, i would like a minimun of 512 gb of space, and i’ll use the laptop to programming (currently im studing programation), i would like also do my own thinks such a web server, stream server, minecraft server and maybe a casual game such minecraft CS2 or The Binding of Isaac. The keyboard is important ,for me atleast, the Lenovo keyboards i hate them, i like LG or Asus/Acer, all of these i would like to dont open/modify the base laptop, I dont like to open the pc. I know the budget is impossible to catch something with all that but these are orientative objectives, and as I said it can go up to 1100€, one i’ve seen and i liked very much is these https://frame.work/es/en/products/laptop-13-gen-amd/configuration/new the 1600€ but is so expensive for me, but i like it very much even the concept
Can second this, OP. The DYI option saved me like $350 over the pre built and it took like ten minutes in between being amazed at the packaging. They even supply the only tool you’ll need for it!
As for Linux, Fedora 39+ fully supports every aspect of the laptop OOTB. It’s a wonderful experience.
I forgot about the distro. Any should work I think but Arch is fully supported if you’re interested.
I tried that first, but the wifi was broken on Arch. That was several months ago though, so it might be good now, but when I first got it back in January it was not. I can vouch for Fedora though (as well as Ubuntu), since Framework endorses it (them). It’s pretty flawless.
