I recently upgraded to the Framework Laptop, and I am in love with this thing! I have had issues with FedEx shipping it though, they seemed to spike my package playing volleyball or something since my keyboard arrived dented. Thankfully, Framework support was very helpful in getting my damaged parts replaced at no additional charge, including covering the shipping fees for the return of the damaged part.
I also completely overhauled my existing desktop. I wanted something with a little more horsepower for games that I play and just for future proofing as well. My trusty Dell Optiplex was fantastic but started to fall behind, but 'tis not the end for my valiant steed. I hold it aside to hopefully start using as a air-gapped machine to learn how such systems are maintained and use it's optical drive for ripping DVDs and (eventually) Blu-Rays. I still recommend used Optiplex systems for those needing a cheap Linux computer though. You can read more below.

While I'm settled with it, I don't recommend you buy an Acer Swift SF314-42. It's an okay price for what you get at around $700, ***BUT*** the RAM is soldered, meaning no-go for any future upgrades, the screen's bevel is bad and falls apart from heat if you use it at a dock like I do, and it's keyboard is lackluster with an odd selection of media keys and no Linux support for it's fingerprint scanner. Obviously the fingerprint scanner doesn't matter much to me nowadays, but for the DE guys it may be a deal-breaker. I recently upgraded to the Framework Laptop 13 since this laptop was no longer suiting my needs both power-wise and RAM-wise.
If you want a cheap desktop computer that does amazing under Linux, get a used Dell Optiplex. I got mine for $50, people often sell them for under $200 complete, and they are easily upgradable with about 90% standard parts. The only issues I have with them is the lack of space for storage and a front case fan and their garbage proprietary 8-pin motherboard power cable. Both the issues with the fan and storage can be mitigated if you are clever enough, but the 8-pin seems to make the processor inside run at a fraction of it's actual potential.
