Goddamn, every day that passes I hope so much Framework get to expand their sales to more countries. I REALLY want to get one of their laptops whenever mine finally bites the dust.
The temptation is hard, but it would be totally against their philosophy, the best laptop is the one you already own, after all. Also they don't ship to Brazil yet, so no way for me to get one, unfortunately.
This is wild I am so happy to see it. I tend to be hesitant to fanboy a company but here I can't help myself. Step after step, most things framework do make it imposible not to.
Of course, as stated, this is just a dev board but the ability to just drop the boy into the 13 inch and have it going is wild. I'm increadibly excited to see what people can do with it and if it's available for consumers, I'm excited to finally have a chance to try my hand at risc development
It should be distro agnostic, yes. It's a bios replacement so once it hands off to the OS it should be chill
The reason why many people like coreboot is ownership over your system. The codes freely available to you, what it does is known, and this it's harder to backdoor.
As for functionality, by my understanding, this allows for updates way past what manufacturers are willing to support. Making older hardware much more secure.
Other than support for older systems and peace of mind there's not anything I'd know myself. It may be able to allow features that the bios doesn't allow but the hardware supports as well but I don't have any examples
I'll admit, I'm a paranoid man, so peace of mind and ownership over my system is the main allure. Also, I hate branding, and love to remove it where possible. Coreboot allows this
I want a convertible Framework device with a detachable keyboard so bad.
I don't need another laptop, but a modular standalone tablet-ish screen with an optional typing surface and shipping Linux as an option? I'd be so there, especially if paired with upcoming ARM SoCs.
Absolutely not. Came not even close to 16GB usage (yet)
But I thought that it would be nice to have, and that the prices wouldn't go lower anytime soon, so I thought I might as well take the 32Gigs
Several countries have <Enter> taller, and wider at the top.
My UK keyboard is the same, and I'm probably too old to adapt to a smaller <Enter> and having the | \ @ ~ and # in (what I see as) the wrong places :-)
Yes! I haven't thought of a solution yet, not sure also if it would be better if the gap was smaller or bigger.
For Framework I would suggest to just create a trackpad with the full width plate, possibly with a few different alignments. It would be a loss for modularity, I do understand that.
Easiest solution would be to just shave the hair, I guess? :D
