My only gripe about using the Framework is my gripe about almost any Linux laptop: Battery life could be better. Dells XPS 13 Developer Edition was one of the first big-name laptops to ship with Linux and it remains the lightest, smallest laptop with Linux. I tested Ubuntu, which Framework supports, and Arch Linux, and both worked great (though Framework does not officially support Arch). If you're okay with the previous-gen chips, you can grab one today. The only catch is that the AMD model ships in the third quarter of the year, though the Intel version will ship in June. When it arrives you can install Linux yourself (or opt to ship it with Windows if you need to dual boot). Arch Linux - obs-studio 29.0.2-2 (x8664) - File List obs-studio 29.0.2-2 File List Package has 1539 files and 97 directories. Right now you can preorder an AMD Ryor Intel Core 13th-Gen series system with 32 GB of RAM, a 2-TB SSD, and whichever mix of ports suits your needs for around $1,400. I tested the second release of the 13-inch model ( 8/10, WIRED Recommends) and loved it. If you want a laptop you can upgrade, Framework's Laptop is the best Linux rig for you.
