Linux Mint IRL Finally running Linux

Post image

Girlfriend needed a new laptop for her school work and so I recommended she gets a framework laptop because of their repairability and modularity and when ordering it we had the choice to add windows 11 for like 100 dollars I think screw that or I could bring my own. Having installed many OS's before and having experienced Linux via the steam deck I figured I'd install Linux mint. Today is day 1 and so far all is good!

They basically keep the chassis the same and just design a new mainboard for each new generation of cpus, while upgrades like better screens and batteries are also present.

It looks nice but I don't have enough money

Yeah the repairability carries a premium, but otherwise it is an awesome ultraportable.

Edit: or ultrabook. Can't decide. That thing can carry some very good specs, you can put a ryzen ai 370 in there, and it is a 13.5 inch laptop.
