Which alternatives to the Framework laptop? (lemmy.aisteru.ch)

I am looking to buy a new laptop, and I'd be interested in the Framework laptop. What I like are the replaceability and upgradeability of parts, and the fact it is not (to my knowledge) tied to any large corporation.

However, they are not available for Switzerland, and there is no telling if and when they will be. I'm not dead set on having replaceable parts, but I'd at least like to have something that would not cause issues if I were to install a Linux distrib' on it (I had a Surface Pro, and had trouble setting up a Mint on it due to missing drivers for the keyboard). And helping smaller companies is a nice plus.

What would your recommendations be?

I've heard good things about Tuxedo . No idea if they're available in Switzerland.

I'm honestly looking for something with a bit more vram than either of these companies offer. I'm 99% new to Linux, I want to play games on my laptop, but I'm dead set on not getting tied down by Win 11.

I got a Slimbook executive 14 (spanish company), which is identical to Tuxedo's infinity book pro 14.

Loving it so far! Not helpful on the vram front though.

The only thing that might do it ( assuming you want thin and light) would be a razer blade with a 3000 series nvidia they must be fully compatible with linux, otherwise their lambda labs tensorbook collaboration wouldn't work.
