What's the best 13" slim Linux laptop these days for a mix of daily driver use, light dev work, and gaming? Must support USB4/TB4. Strong preference for Linux-friendly ethical brands, but those seem few in number these days.
My 2019 Razer Blade Stealth 13" finally gave up the ghost. I had hoped to limp along for a few more years and wait out the AI bubble and its ridiculous hardware cost inflations, but alas.
