@brucethemoose thanks. I looked it up. I can see various notebooks called Asus Z13, gaming, ROG etc.
Price should be around 1500€, max 2000€.
Which Linux would you recommend for this machine?
What about Dell XPS ?

@brucethemoose I am considering a Framework if not a preconfigured such as slim book or tuxedo

@brucethemoose i do want a new notebook. Ideally with popos, but not necessarily
I just expressed my experience with PopOS.

@brucethemoose hi
Thanks. I once installed various distros on Huawei notebook and it was not a very good experience. The hardware was exceptionally great. I know how to create a USB installer, etc.
I would want it mainly for normal stuff like surfing the net or creating some presentations and showing them. Nothing in particular, for example, nothing AI related. I do not want to daily open the terminal and add some cryptic commands. sudo apt update & sudo apt upgrade

From the UI perspective, I really like PopOS. I have a strong focus on privacy and the canonical telemetry I can disable. I would want my data to be encrypted, but I don’t want to read about luks etc. It should just work.
I would want it to be very portable, sort of like a MacBook Air.
I’m coming from a Mac OS background.
