I've used Linux on an X1 Carbon for many years now, but I just bought a 12th Gen Framework - so far it's noticeably better in every aspect, from software support to build quality to support, and of course maintainability.
The X1 generally worked, but there were always occasional teething issues & manual fiddling required. The Framework meanwhile works flawlessly, has official support and detailed setup guides for many major distros, and I've seen their customer service personally help debug & fix Linux issues in their forums (resulting in far more useful answers when googling questions, so far). It's in another league.
