While not truly a linux laptop vendor, now that most all the Lenovo Thinkpads are actually certified as linux-compatible that would be my choice.

Curious to see what the end result here will be.
I trust jeremy checked that all vendors listed are still active?

I like the dell latitude 5420,5424, or 7424 for the same reasons. I am pretty hard on laptop gear when riding motorcycle.

My source of second-hand Thinkpad X220 dried up last year. :-( That was the last model with semi-acceptable keyboard layout. I can't vote for the current Lenovo, and IBM is not in the list.

But, why is frame.work not in the list? They have a promising attitude towards upgrades and repairs.

Huh, indeed.
I heard good things about them, and good reviews.

I learned about https://frame.work/products/laptop-d...iguration/edit
here at LQ, thanks to somebody.

They don't install Linux for you, so it's probably not ideal for this poll but:

Operating System
Windows 10 Home (Download)
+$139
Windows 10 Pro (Download)
+$199
None (bring your own)

sweet!

Hope they grow to more than three CPU choices.

Oh boy, watch out!

All the Ubuntu users are going to rise-up and complain Dell is not on the list!

Right here Bro. ChromeOS don't support fat file systems anymore So being a ChromeOS user also.
Getting kind of old that android and ChromeOS is Linux on these eyes.
This netbook does what I want good.
My ChromeOS netbook does what I want good.
Does not mean that I accept that Chromebooks are Linux till someone like me shoe horns gnu/linux for real on one.

I tell ya one thing. These netbooks are fast. It is why I bought a defunct EOL chromeos Samsung desktop chromebox. Gonna shoe horn something on it eventually. They are getting about as cheap as usb adapter lately.

I'm with jamison20000e and am totally fascinated by the Frameworks modular DIY laptop.

jamison20000e · 01-08-2022, 09:10 AM

Hopefully after school (which is sending me a "free" Chromebook in a few days) I should afford ta look into Frameworks.

shastenm76 · 01-08-2022, 10:09 PM

I'm privy to Lenovo ThinkPads.

edmundo_ba · 01-18-2022, 10:46 AM

Thanks for sharing comments about Framework!
