My daily driver for the past couple of years has been Thinkpad T480s running Debian/XFCE. However I recently acquired a Framework Chromebook for my partner, and now I'm sorely tempted to get one for myself too. Perhaps my favourite thing about the Framework is the 3:2 aspect ratio screen. That is, aside from the flagship characteristics of running Linux well and being user-serviceable. ChromeOS is really great at keeping itself stable and updated with minimal fuss. The Linux dev mode runs Bullseye by default and is surprisingly well-integrated with the host OS given that fact that it runs in a VM. For example, after I apt installed GIMP in the dev VM, the launcher icon showed up in the ChromeOS launcher menu automatically, and it mostly "just works." You have to use the "Linux" folder from ChromeOS to transfer files between the host and guest, which is a little wonky, and things like screen capture from GIMP don't work by default. But for my partner, they are willing to put up with things like that to have a bulletproof host OS that seamlessly auto-updates.
