Have been keeping half an eye on framework laptops as a potential next daily driver as and when I’m ready for one.
Just wondering what people’s experience of using them on linux has been, particularly nixos
I’m assuming all the drivers are in the kernel given the way the company is
Have been using a 2016 thinkpad for the past year or so and have had a decent experience with it, with the way lenovo have gone with their newer thinkpads it seems like framework is now the best for maintainability/upgradability
(not planning to upgrade in the immediate future as this machine is doing fine, but frameworks are a strong contender in my mind right now and I’m curious as to people’s experience)
Ah that is irritating, I tend to have my ThinkPad on my lap every now and again and it’s usually because it’s in a public place without a desk. Would be pretty annoying for the fan to suddenly go crazy in public
it isn’t so loud that other people would notice, i don’t think - and usually just a bit of readjustment of my position is enough to unblock the vents
don’t let me dissuade you from buying the best laptop i’ve owned!
Hm, I think I need to try and track down someone local who’s got one and see for myself to be honest, I would guess places like pc world won’t have tester models
