    You said not a high budget, and yet everyone here is saying Framework even though the they are $900 to $1,000 at the low end. To me that is not budget.

    Pine64 is affordable but maybe too slow to be a daily driver, unless you feel confident finding your way through ultralightweight software and the command line and can do most of your problem solving that way.

    For other pre-built options, there’s Starlabs and System76 but those are similarly priced to Librem and Framework.

    Beyond that I might just research Windows laptops that are agreeable to being formatted.
