If it’s worth the price I would also be down to spend a bit more than 300 - sadly though after checking there are a total of 2 used Framework laptops on sale in my country total - and both are non-touchscreen versions sadly :/

Edit: after having a look at the Framework 12 it seems basically exactly what I’m asking for - apart from the fact that it won’t be out for another half a year and the price point of 570€ with an i3 and 0 GB of storage and RAM - I’m guessing I could pick this up used in a couple of years but until then I’m still looking for recommendations ;)

I have been using windows exclusively for 20 years now but just made the switch to Linux (EndeavourOS - an arch distro) 1 week ago and I couldn’t be happier!

99% of all applications that I use work just as well (including games) and for the very very few that won’t work (like Valorant) I am using a dual boot setup. The reason that I made the switch was that I got anxious with W10 EOL approaching since I would rather stop using windows altogether than using W11.
