I am looking to buy a new laptop, and I’d be interested in the Framework laptop. What I like are the replaceability and upgradeability of parts, and the fact it is not (to my knowledge) tied to any large corporation.
However, they are not available for Switzerland, and there is no telling if and when they will be. I’m not dead set on having replaceable parts, but I’d at least like to have something that would not cause issues if I were to install a Linux distrib’ on it (I had a Surface Pro, and had trouble setting up a Mint on it due to missing drivers for the keyboard). And helping smaller companies is a nice plus.
What would your recommendations be?
System76?
+1 for System76. Linux support by default and they ship to Switzerland

They are rebranded Clevo laptops, which is the manufacturer with the absolute shittiest build quality. Do not purchase anything from them if you intend on using it for more than 6 months.
please don’t
