    I am going to buy a InfinityBook Pro 15 - Gen9 - AMD by TUXEDO. A bit over budget for you, but i definitely think it’s worth the price (1300€). The company is devoted to supporting Linux and offers a wider range of personalization on your laptop (Keyboard, OS installed etc etc).

    Also, worth noting: 5 years of warranty is pretty nice.

    EDIT: Framework is very expensive in my opinion. If you are willing to spend 1600€, then have a look at TUXEDO or System76. For that price range you will make more value out of your money.

    Thanks for the heads up, I will definitely keep that in mind.

    That’s strange that they would not help you out.

    Are you still using their Proton VPN? How is it? I am with NordVPN, and I have been using it for more than 5 years, and it is crazy fast and so many servers are available.

    If you want privacy, sadly, you will have to pay. I am currently using Proton Pass (special offer 1$ monthly), you get a good password manager, plus unlimited email aliases.

    Proton is also known to be one of the best Email Providers based on good privacy.

    Thank you for your answer. Ye, frameworks laptops are pretty expensive. Do you think for the price, the TUXEDO InfinityBook Pro 15 - Gen9 - AMD is worthy? I like the screen, and the battery life is also good. The CPU is somewhat pretty powerful and for my daily usage would be more than enough.

    The integrated graphic would be only for light gaming which is ok, since i have a Steam Deck.

    I was just curious about any feedbacks on the company.






  • I use Proton Pass and Ente Authentication (2FA).

    I can’t access my Proton Mail without my 2FA, additionally I can’t even access my 2FA without my email address (verification code is sent to my mail to unlock my 2FA codes + I need the master password). If i lose one of them I am screwed you would say, but it’s not the case.

    What I did is to write down my Proton Mail Password and its secret code for 2FA + My Ente Authentication credentials (mail + master password). This way I will always be able to access my Proton Mail, even if i lose access to my 2FA app.

    This is the worst case scenario, i also have a second phone where i keep Proton Pass and 2FA logged in, so if I lose my main phone, I am not completely locked out.
