Yea pretty much, Blackshirts and Reds has a good summary of this behaviour. Great book, really easy to read and kinda hard to put down.

Yep this is the best one by a big margin
Had a vegan friendsgiving this year, huge upgrade
Reasonably okay (but maybe don't get the absolute newest model), but not as good as the others which are all excellent. I mostly put them in the list because they've got excellent build quality, good keyboard, trackpad, etc, and a very nice screen. Basically if you want a macbook with linux (for cheaper than a macbook with linux https://asahilinux.org/) they're pretty reasonable. They also support openbsd which is neat https://jcs.org/2021/08/20/matebook
The laptops I listed are in order of preference imo. Framework is definitely in a class of itself, but if they don't ship to your country or something then getting an xps with linux pre-installed is great and then finally as a backup either a thinkpad or matebook.
Yea lol sorry I dunno why I forgot to add a link. Also if you're using or planning on ever using linux I would highly recommend the new 2.8k display, it'll be a nice 2x scaling factor which is quite handy is you run any older x11 programs (games, some proprietary software, etc).
Framework for sure, specifically the 13 with the new higher res screen. It’s a perfect 2x scale which is really nice.
The older screen is fine, but some older x11 programs will be scaled wrong.
There are other nice laptops of course: dell xps, thinkpad x1c, huawei matebooks, but imo the framework laptops are better in most regards and as a bonus you can upgrade the ram, cpu, and motherboard without needing to buy a new computer. You also can buy them without a windows license which usually makes them cheaper than the others for similar specs (unless you’re going for used of course).
I have one and it’s pretty great, more expensive than a used thinkpad, but cheaper than most other new laptops with similar specs. The 3:2 screen on the 13” is the killer feature for me. I couldn’t go back to a 16:9 laptop at this point. Also not needing to pay the windows tax on the diy version is cool.
Alpine. It’s pretty lovely, but usually when I’m setting something up for someone else it’s either Debian or Fedora.
That teams client is excellent too because it just shows that you're always online lmao
Sums up my last job perfectly
