  • There are other laptops besides macbooks and framework laptops.
    I liked the lenovos in recent years, linux just worked out of the box, swapped the wifi-chip to support 6E last year, and upgraded the memory, super easy to do.
    Was surprised how cheap these wifi-chips are, cost like 20$ for the intel ax210.

    But the current lineup is too expensive for what they offer… Maybe buy a used one. (in general)


  • Good points.
    Although I have flown a few times on low-cost airlines in Europe, most of them also don’t care if you don’t test your luck with your carry-on.
    They often don’t have enough time for thorough checks anyway. I got checked once, and it was fine.
    I often prefer to place the carry-on in the hull when offered (personal preference and a willingness to take risks).

    Additionally, when flying to or from EU (and associated) destinations, you have EU Flight Rights, such as fixed compensation after certain delays.
    This is in addition to the right to get any costs replaced, like hotel, food, and taxi.
    There are companies that make it very easy to enforce your rights when the airline denies them. Of course, they want a cut, but either you pay a lawyer upfront or try your luck with them with no risks.
