Think I will roll with Framework next. But also looking to max the frames out need the best mobile amd gpu which maybe in the Asus only? Probably their Linux support sucks..

If you care about upgradability and replacable parts the Framework is awesome, I love mine so far. But you can get a laptop with better parts for cheaper otherwise, so it's probably worth just finding something that just has a compatible architecture if that aspect of the Framework isn't a major thing for you. But also I'm typing this after drinking half a bottle of wine so honestly just ignore this entire comment, I don't want the pressure of you making a financial decision based on this. Ok bye.

don't get an asus. they've got terrible Linux support and their vapor chambers are designed to fail after a year and a half of ownership causing cooling to drastically decline in quality

My G14 is still going strong, and it's 4? 5? years old. I'm the second owner too.

What doesn't work under Linux? Backlight control, keyboard backlight (including RGB on other models) is well supported, anime matrix works too. I can easily set charge limits, fan speeds and power profiles.

My model doesn't have a webcam but the built in mics work well.

ASUS laptops have a great community behind them.

In that case I may go Asus once the next super fast Amd cpu+gpu lands. Thanks for the heads up.

my previous laptop was a tuxedo.

Was not very happy with it. (build quality not very good and the hardware support was not as 100% linux compatible as they claim).

At least their support is very good
