Convince me to get Framework over Macbook

Using Linux: It is a pro as well as a con. Everything "just worked" with macOS, especially proprietary software required for university, like Zoom and Microsoft Office suites. I remember trying to daily drive my ThinkPad X270, only to constantly having to switch back to my Macbook since Zoom screen

Switching from Windows 11 Pro to Linux

On my ThinkPad X270, I use LMDE7 with XFCE. But Debian (13) with KDE Plasma should run really smoothly on your Laptop.

Convince me to get Framework over Macbook

Used linux for 2 months and switched back to Win11

I believe one needs to use the tools one needs to get the work done. I personally have a MacBook for video editing but I love my ThinkPad x270. It has opened my mind to a whole new aspect of tinkering with computers and I am really enjoying it.

I've also tried recently on Hyprland, sharing w
