Companies usually handle this by using a hardware vendor with on-site support (like Dell) for hardware issues, and a Linux distro with corporate support (like RedHat) for software issues. Definitely more than a regular user would be willing to pay, though.

I’ve got a Framework 16 and love it.
Framework are nowhere near the scale of any of the large manufacturers, and they’ve had to spend a huge amount of time and money on R&D, so their laptops are probably always going to cost more. IMO it’s worth the price though, given you can keep updating it over time.
Get “live DVDs” for a distro that offers both GNOME and KDE (Fedora is a great one), and see which one you like best. “live” means it’s usable without installing anything, so it’s easy to try out. Get a spare USB stick, install Ventoy on it, copy both ISOs across (a KDE one and a GNOME one), and boot your computer from it to try them out.
Great article! This helped me understand a lot more about D-Bus.

Some apps have weird names and I forget what they’re called. Showing a “new” badge, even if it’s just for the first few times I open the app, makes it more likely that I’ll remember the app’s name.

I wonder how many are Steam Deck users. It’s brought Linux to a lot of people who otherwise wouldn’t have tried it.
