I’m currently in the market for something like a Chromebook but I’m not buying one because of stuff like this.

Lenovo yoga 11e, with linux. They’re like 250 bucks and a great value. Tablet mode too. I prefer mine to my better laptops, honestly, because I don’t have to worry about it at all.

If you want a fancy Chromebook, there’s the Framework Chromebook (or you could just get the regular Framework laptops)

I am very happy using a surface go with Linux (used arch with GNOME for a while, now trying out KDE Neon for a change).
