2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil

No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.

We are here to talk and discuss about one of our passions, not fight or be exposed to hate. Posts or responses that are hateful will be deleted to keep the atmosphere good.

4. Stay on-topic; no memes, funny videos, giveaways, reposts, or low-effort posts

What is the best current gaming laptop that comes with Linux pre-installed? I don’t want to “pay Microsoft” by buying a Windows-licensed machine. Please suggest the best value-for-money option (original retail price) with 32 GB or more of RAM. I’m willing to upgrade hardware myself, but I want a high-quality, durable machine — I plan to use this laptop for more than five years.

“What is your budget?”

around $1,400 USD, but if there is a $2000 laptop with higher ratio of quality / price I would choose that one.

“What size do you want?”

Any normal size.

“What screen resolution?”

Any, as long as it’s not 720p.

“Which GPU?”

As good as possible, I care more about highest ratio of quality / price

“And if you want warranty, which country are you in?”

I don’t need a warranty.

Your option is basically only framework if you want good hardware.

If you don't mind low end stuff then you have plenty of options.

Framework laptops are really cool, but the modular design seems to make them more vulnerable.
