So far, all games i played run well, most impressively doom eternal in medium settings.

I doubt you'll run into issues with any somewhat optimized game.

Windows doesn't work out of the box, you always have to mess with drivers, download your software from websites, and other workarounds to get basic tasks done.

Linux has most drivers included in the kernel, and most Hardware just works. You get a package manager which takes care of installing software and keeping everything up to date. Only for edge cases you have to download software from a website.

I suggest going with fedora, you'll geht a recent kernel and a desktop of your choice with the different spins.

I recommend KDE plasma when coming from windows, since it offers a windows 10 style by default but can be customized to fit your personal workflow.

The repairable design definitely has some drawbacks, but i rather have a 90% machine that can be upgraded than a 100% machine i need to buy New every 5 years or so.

Soldered parts are often, if not always more efficient and the P14s (which I have at work) has soldered ram, which greatly improves efficiency

I bought the framework laptop because i like actually owning the things i buy, and the framework is the only one offering such a wide variety of replacement parts and upgrades.

Also the potential for upgrades are only limited by the chassis itself. Maybe they'll release a touchscreen and 360° hinges, which would be doable in the future.

Also, I hate manufacturers forcing me into using windows by using components not compatible with Linux, framework works out of the box with fedora, my distro of choice.

But in the end, you'll have to decide yourself. For that price, you can get machines with better specs - at the price of soldered ports, ram, and maybe even the ssd in some cases.
