You might want to consider gaming on Linux. For that, neither might be a good idea, unless you want to play older games on an older ThinkPad (which a lot of Linux users like to use... a lot). If you want recommendations for Linux-specialized companies, I'd take a look at System76.
I’ve already started saving money for a Framework laptop, so I plan to buy one within a year. I’ve heard a bit about System76—how does it compare to Framework? Is the quality better?
I think with Framework, you have the AMD ST and/or Intel ME, which you can't disable. Since System76 has Intel CPUs almost exclusively, they're Corebooted and have ME disabled.
I didn't know that, thank you!
