Does anyone have strong opinions on open source hardware? I’m finally at a point where I need to upgrade my laptop.

The Framework 16 pre-order is tempting. It’s a fascinating project. Even if it comes at premium due to the small scale of their operation, I’m happy to support the cause.

Alternatively, Sytem76/Clevo hardware has interested me for a long time (coreboot ftw). Based on the documentation current gens are super easy to repair.

Any thoughts are appreciated!

    Framework, all day, every day.

    If they keep doing what they’re currently doing, the way they’re doing it, they’ll be the top choice for as long as they do.

      Agreed. I can't believe Thinkpads still get recommended to Linux users when Framework exists.
