I don’t really need a gaming laptop so was considering the framework 13. If anyone has any experience with it please share! Bonus points for any details of using Linux on it and/or the AMD version.

I’ve been running NixOS on my gen11 for a few years. The battery life isn’t great, but otherwise I really enjoy it as a laptop. I enjoy the chassis and the screen. I’ve got a replacement set of AMD internals on order along with a case for my old motherboard to use as a tiny server.

Same boat as you, except running Pop!_OS, can't wait for the Ryzen board (batch 4). I think I'll pick up the new battery at some point. Between the increase in capacity, my current battery being down to 85% capacity, and Ryzen I'm dreaming of a 9 hour laptop.
