Are newer thinkpads worth it over the framework laptop? (feddit.cl)

The framework laptop promises to be an upgradeable and repairable laptop, not quite the same philosophy that makes thinkpads great, but I wonder if newer thinkpads are good enough to prefer over a framework.

Pop_OS! gives you benefits. It encrypts your storage drive by default with 1 password including login (which is rare in Linux) and the Pop Store for software install&updates is fairly better.

Besides for those, they're pretty much equal and both uses xorg so far.

You can just format your usb stick with Ventoy2Disk and try Pop_OS! (or any Linux distro) in live mode without formatting or installing anything on your computer. With Ventoy, you just delete the .iso and drag new ones without re-formatting.
