Looking for a durable and repairable Linux laptop for business use (lemmy.world)

Hello everyone,

I currently use Linux as my personal operating system and really enjoy it. I’m now looking for a reliable laptop for my business.

I’ll mainly use it for office work, software development, and programming in C++ and Python. I use Debian, so good Linux compatibility is important. Durability and repairability are also high priorities, since I plan to use it as my primary work laptop every day.

Could you recommend any laptops that would be a good fit?

Framework and System76 aren’t options for me because I’m located in Costa Rica, where they aren’t readily available.

Thank you!

Yep, I have a 5290 (since 2023, 2018 model). If I had taken a minimum amount of care for it, it would still be in a great condition. But now, the housing is broken in multiple places and I have to replace the battery. But everything works great.
