As someone who has been using a Thinkpad X1 with Linux on it since 2014, I'd probably strongly consider getting another one.

Framework is the only other tempting choice, but some people voiced concerns about Linux compability with the latest revision. Might be worth messing around with it though.

Hi, my name is Matt Hartley. I'm the new Linux Lead for Framework. Our laptops have great support for both Ubuntu and Fedora. I'm typing this from Fedora right now. We also have community support for other distros as well.

Thank you for your reply. Have all the issues outlined in [1] been ironed out by now? If so, that'd be very nice.

Any specific notes for Fedora? I just bought one yesterday.

We have a detailed Fedora guide on your website, under support.

Hi Matt, thanks for contributing to the thread. Do you have any progress on Coreboot support yet? I've been holding off buying until this is available - the presence of bootguard makes me nervous and as far as I can tell, it's not possible to buy with bootguard explicitly disabled - but progress seems to have crawled to a stop.

Framework were extraordinarily responsive and thorough working through the display flickering and Wayland-related suspend issues I had right after I got my 12th-gen Intel version. By far the best tech support response I've ever gotten for an issue. (Kernel updates fixed both issues.)
