Thinking of Repairable, Potentially Upgradable and Customizable Laptops that can run Linux Easily, or Laptops that atleast show one of these Traits!

So I've decided to get a Framework 12 knowing that I wanna try a proper start into Linux. My Previous attempt with Kubuntu went rather Badly, tho more because of the Garbage Laptop I got new for it which broke apart at every seem. Its also been 5 years since then.

So I've decided to go with Linux Mint, the Cinnamon Flavour! Something about the UI, Software Package Tailor made for me and that Linux Mint supposedly is Community Supported on the FW12 made me choose it. As I await the Laptop, I've been reading into it and there seem a few worries?

A Forum Post around April detailed that Tablet mode just doesnt work on it, is that still true?

Then there is the Framework/Community Guide on how to Instal and set it up properly... with the most Horrible German Translation I've ever read (Can't seem to turn it off either)

There is also very few Posts on Folks experience with it on the FW12. Do any of you Run Linux Mint on the FW12? If so what it been like for you?

I'm Sooooo Incredibly Happy with how it turned out! The Artist Loni really just got Lyra as a Character and managed to put it into the Art hmgnhngmhngmgmnh So Happy with it! Became my Profile Picture the Second it was done haha:

So I got the 0.2mm Nozzle for my P1S to do some Detail Heavy stuff, while with PLA everything works perfectly Fine, Once I try to use any Roll of PETG HF it just refuses to Stick to the Plate!

I've been Mostly Testing on my Coolplate Supertack, but same issue happens on the Textured PEI. Both of them have no issues when trying PLA the Print before.

I've now tried a Range from 230c° to 250c° for the Nozzle and 60c° to 85c° for the Headbed with only limited result, as Only the Combination of 250c° and 85c° for the Heatbed got me the Brim around the Print to stick, but not the print itself.

What am I overlooking here? Is there some settings I need to adjust when switching Nozzles? Dp I need to go even Higher with the Temps? Maybe its the Flow Ratio? I've tried both the reset one and the one that was set with the 0.4 Nozzle with no real change. Cant run a new calibration for it since nothing sticks. Both spools of Filament have been dried for 48 Hours, with a few hours of resting before use ofcourse.

To note, PETG HF works perfectly fine on the 0.4 Nozzle and both Plates have been cleaned multiple times now... as seen to work with PLA. What settings work for you folks? Anyone with simular issues?

Ya all remember those 1.7.10 Minecraft Survival Servers with that Gold Shovel Claim System? I wonder whatever happened to those.

Nowadays its all real Money Economy based Lootbox stuff... you all know of any Oldschool Survival Servers without that stuff? Been in a real Old Style Survival Server Mood as of recent and my Fingers are Itching to build something big!

So I've been wanting to make those Clear Keychains for some of my Artist Friends that we saw at a Convention, with my first idea being Resin 3D Printing, a thing that I am very much unfamiliar with!

My Idea is to 3D Print out a Transparent shape, then Print the same shape but mirrored, then take both and Sandwich a Paper Print picture of one of my Friends Characters between the 2 and bind it all together!

There is a concern that I have Before I go out and get myself setup with a Resin 3D Printer... how Clear is Clear Resin anyway? All I can seem to find Online is Prints made by the Resin Sellers, which lets be real, cannot be trusted on its own. Given that the Paper Picture Sandwiched in the 2 Resin Shapes needs to be very Visible, the Resin Shape must be basically Near Perfectly Clear. What is your Folks experience with Clear Resin? Would you recommend using a Resin 3D Printer for this or should I go look for other Methods?

Edit: Thanks too all of you for shimming in with your Many Detailed Experiences, Ideas and Suggestions! After considering everything, I've decided that the best Route I should take is utilising a Laser Cutting Machine with Acrylic. A thing I've somehow not considered before! I want to choose the Lasercutting method in Particular as I think it'll also allow for many other Possibilities to Create things in the Future! Now I do have to do my Research on what machines are on the Market for Transparent Acrylic, as from what I've read only certain Laser Types can Handle those. But I think I'll find something that Suits me! Much thanks for everyone who Commented here!

I've had the idea to try and learn how to Program 6502 Assembly for my Commodore PET, but I'm a little lost on what the best source is on learning this stuff, especially for a beginner who is yet unfamiliar with its full Architecture and Quirks!

Thus far I've tried looking at Books from the PETs Period, but those do expect quite a bit of pre-knowledge in Computing, which for me includes a tiny bit of Python and Commodore Basic...

Edit: Thank you all for Commenting! I'll try out the many Ideas you all had soon and see what works best with me! Thank you all for the Suggestions!

I'm so Incredibly Happy how she Turned out! I poured everything I like about Fox Girls into her Design and I think you all can tell haha!

Go check out the Artist who helped me in every step of Designing her, Kazumiskill
