Hello folks, I am currently in the market for a new laptop and I want to hear from people who have hand-on experience with Linux laptops. I am currently looking at framework and tuxedo laptops, but I know very little about these companies and have a hard time finding anyone who have actually used one of their laptops.

I would appreciate getting in touch with anyone having direct hand-on experience with products from these companies (or another company that you feel should be considered) and let me know what you think of their products and the company itself.

I am interested in companies that support the right to repair and offer good warranties for their products and I need a laptop with modern hardware and a low weight.

We have Lenovo Thinkpads (P16) at work, works great. They're a little heavy, but the battery life is excellent.

Define excellent...

I get on in the morning and forget that I haven't plugged in sometime in the afternoon when I finally figure out why it went to sleep at lunchtime.

I don't know what the rated battery life is.
