   Theorycrafting:
   What is the most free (as in freedom) system from consumer hardware that can at least run latest Firefox reasonably well.
   Discuss hardware + distro / packages
   Bonus points for options that aren't "buy a 20 year old thinkpad"

     @gabriel For hardware, I think the #Framework laptops are completely free and open. They’re pricey, but no pricier than a #Macbook!

     As for distros, my favorite distro is probably always going to be #ZorinOS. I have an old #Thinkpad and wasn’t able to run #Firefox on it well, but it’s because #Firefox has a minor memory leak issue or something on #Linux and the laptop is so old that it doesn’t have the overhead to handle it lol
