I would say
Framework has a chromebook edition as probably the "best", but the framework laptop can also be anything else like windoze/linux, or probably even a hackintosh if you really wanted. I'm not sure other chromebooks are convertible to linux or other os if someone say hated chromeos.
I'd also check buying one off ebay used, chromebooks are probably readily available from off-lease edu or folks that just didn't like chromeos that ran back to windoze or mac, and likely cheap/reasonable as I can't imagine a strong market for them.
