Yes, but be mindful of the hardware you're using

What's high performance for you?

I can certainly get a Framework (Fedora and Ubuntu officially supported), throw my prefered Bluefin-Framework image in and get working

Battery life around 7 hours is the average I see reported, Fast/Silent will depend on the model, but I don't see the issue really Upgradability and easeness of battery replacement are a plus

I just picked framework because they were first to come to mind, but I think Dell has a nice Linux story, Tuxedo also comes to mind

7 hours battery life is less than half of what I get on my MacBook Air. That wouldn’t last me on my ATL - HNL flight I took last year or my MCO - LHR 10 hour flight I’m taking this year.

These are the typical reviews I see around the Framework

Poor battery life, heavy, runs hot, poor build quality, bad speakers, and decent but not great graphics.
