> Framework machine with Fedora
Unfortunately Framework only ships to a limited amount of countries, and they also prohibit commercial resale and go out of their way to block parcel forwarders. So as a result, it's not available for ~90% of the world's population, so I wouldn't recommend it as a general recommendation for a global audience.

Why Bluefin and not Aurora (KDE)?

Not sure where you heard this from, but Ubuntu is possibly one of the worst Linux distros you could've recommended. It might work fine initially, but it will eventually break during regular usage/updates (generally due to Snap, or due to other Canonical shenanigans). Even if you disable Snap, there's a good chance it may break during a dist-upgrade.
