What is a budget modern laptop with ergonomic keyboard to run Fedora on?

I mean, I've got an old IdeaPad flex 4 running Fedora pretty well. As long as it has DDR4 and more than 4 GB of ram then you'll be fine.

How is the keyboard?

[–] VoidJuiceConcentrate@midwest.social 1 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

it's alright. I'm not sure if it fits within what you consider ergonomic but it's a fairly decent laptop keyboard.

Do you have this laptop currently? You can coreboot it and install Fedora on it https://docs.mrchromebox.tech/docs/supported-devices.html

Iam afraid I will brake it tbh

They're not too bad to work with, I did my grandma's Chromebook a bit ago and did 2 last night after realizing I didn't need a modded cable, just the battery trick. If you'd replace it anyway it doesn't hurt to try!

I have to take the battery out right?

[–] VoidJuiceConcentrate@midwest.social 5 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

that's a pretty bog standard laptop keyboard.

[–] lemmyuser70@slrpnk.net 1 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

It is actually comfortable

I mean, yeah. Laptop keyboards are basically a solved science these days.
