I'm also halfway trying to talk myself into taking the plunge (admittedly not with windows, I spent a good bit of my career locked into it and I'm done lol).

You seem open to share some details, by which I mean, I feel less potentially rude to ask - care to share how long you've been working with em (the Frameworks)? And any details therein, how it's been, any frustrations?

Longevity matters a lot to me, at least in the medium term (and it's not lost that me buying their ish would help them do that in a tiny way lol), so I'm gun-shy. My current approach is simply to buy old business class Dell things for my household, there's ~no chance I'll find myself unable to buy parts cheaply. I do also treasure giving old machines further life, very sustainable, feels good.

Whatcha think? Time for me to upgrade my approach (slowly 😅), or best to wait it out a bit and see what develops?

The first few Framework laptops were bought back in 2024. About 30 people have a Framework now, while the rest has Lenovo’s.

Nothing but issues with Lenovo. They even have a built-in reset button on the bottom for when they freeze and not even the power button works… They are between 2-4 years old. The USB-C ports in all of them are trash.

No issues with any Framework’s so far, except one had an issue with connecting to a TV through a Lenovo dock.

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.
