I always liked the System76 laptops. PopOS is a good alternative to Ubuntu. No mention of pricing on this one. But most System76 laptops cost over $1000, which is why I never bought one. I thought Linux laptops were supposed to be cheaper, because you don’t have to pay the Windows tax. But I’ve never found that to be the case. Most Linux laptops cost hundreds of dollars more than a Windows laptop.
