My only gripe about using the Framework is my gripe about almost any Linux laptop: Battery life could be better. I tested Ubuntu, which Framework supports, and Arch Linux, and both worked great (though Framework does not officially support Arch). If you're okay with the previous-gen chips, you can grab one today. You can easily test that it doesnt work two ways: - Click on the + sign in 'Sources', and the list will be missing 'Browser source' - Try dragging a URL to OBS It will say that it will create a source from it, but then nothing happens. The only catch is that the AMD model ships in the third quarter of the year, though the Intel version will ship in June. But in the Arch package (obs-studio) this feature doesnt work. When it arrives you can install Linux yourself (or opt to ship it with Windows if you need to dual boot).

Right now you can preorder an AMD Ryor Intel Core 13th-Gen series system with 32 GB of RAM, a 2-TB SSD, and whichever mix of ports suits your needs for around $1,400. I tested the second release of the 13-inch model ( 8/10, WIRED Recommends) and loved it. The tool can broadcast to any RTMP supporting destination, having presets for streaming on YouTube, Twitch, Instagram and Facebook.

If you want a laptop you can upgrade, Framework's Laptop is the best Linux rig for you. OBS (Open Broadcaster Software) Studio is a free and open source Qt application for video recording and live streaming, which runs on Linux, macOS and Windows.
