I’m looking for a portable, very compact linux laptop.

Screen size: 12 inch or smaller Weight: less than 1 kg (2.2 pounds) Full hd screen

I did some googling and i only found a CHUWI laptop that suffers from an overheating issue.

Just go with a Framework 13. Yes it’s 13 inch instead of 12 inch. But you will get the best possible Linux laptop out there. And it’s also fully repairable and upgradable. I have the latest Framework 13 AMD 7040, yes AMD. And… do not forget to select the new 2.8k display. Allowing for the first time to just select 200% DPI scaling that just works for Linux! So no scaling issues.! https://frame.work/nl/en/products/laptop-diy-13-gen-amd/configuration/new

And select “7640U - 2.8K Display”.

Framework laptop 13 is just a bit above 1kg. It’s 1.3kg… It is worth weighing this choice (you get the joke? hah, guhmm). If you really need something super compact and very light, maybe a old-school “netbook” will do.

Like the GPD WIN Mini (7 inch, that is super compact, right?)… But really get a Framework laptop hehe.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
