I don’t know personally as I don’t have a FW13. I would like one. I just have experience with the other stuff. Look on the FW forums, it’s quite active.
Maybe the Framework 13. I’d suggest an AMD APU. Something with the 7840U/HS or the 8840U/HS. It’s iGPU is very potent. Use the Bazzite OS and OnlyOffice with Microsoft fonts installed is a fantastic MS Office alternative.
I’ve been using Mint for about two years and it games okay and also feels outdated. I built a gaming computer for a friend recently and put Bazzite on it and it runs games great and just works great as a whole
I recently built an AMD based gaming computer with Bazzite and it works fantastically. I have found that atomic distros from Fedora just work, and Bazzite makes gaming super simple
I find most people don’t know of the alternatives but they are open to change as they are unhappy with current options that they are aware of. I’ve talked with a few people that were surprisingly open to to trying Linux. They didn’t know how easy it is to use and install but jumped on the opportunity as they were unhappy with Windows.
PS. I’ve been using Mint for around 2yrs but after recently messing around with Fedora Kinoite and Bazzite both with Plasma it really shows how dated Mint is. Fedora with Plasma is sooo modern and filled with great features.
