I don’t think lemmy has an equivalent /r/suggestalaptop community, but feel free to let me know if any.
I really like my acer Chromebook c720 because its easy to carry around and doesn’t feel heavy when placed on my lap. Google no longer supports this model, so i turned it into a Linux machine via Arch Linux and Sway as the WM. This setup really fits my needs. However, it is underpowered with only 2G and old cpu. There is another model (4G + i3), but i cant find it anywhere in my area.
Is there a laptop you can suggest that has very similar dimensions, but higher specs (up to 8G ram if possible) and has good compatibility with Linux? I use my c720 for almost all stuff - watching movies, studying some web dev stuff, etc. but not gaming. I’m not really asking for any links on where to find them, but just a suggestion. Already tried 14-15in laptops, but i would still prefer around 11-12 (maybe because of small hands?).

If you are OK bumping up to 13", Framework makes extremely good laptops.

Framework was going to be my suggestion

Not sure why you mentioned S76 on a framework post. Or are they related in some way?
Their website says battery, keyboard and thermal paste are the only upgradeable parts

I like the idea of reparability, but framework is a bit pricey.

It’s worth it for me and a lot of other people.
