[ale] Good Laptop for Linux these days

[Charles Shapiro]

Been using a 1st gen Framework.  Bought the 'DIY kit', which came naked.
Took about 30 minutes to assemble, then about 5 minutes to install Ubuntu
20.04.   Only 1 kilo, plenty fast, all user-replaceable parts.  Battery
life is only a couple-three hours tho.
