I've been using a Framework 16 for about a year now, and love it.  Mine
is a Ryzen-9, 32GB, without the add-on Nvidia graphics module.  Not
cheap, but as you said very ugradeable/customizable, and easy to work on
if needed.  I added the numeric keypad option as well.  Haven't had any
trouble with it and it's Linux-friendly.  I'd give it a "highly recommended"
rating.
