frame.work
The most repairable pro laptop is here. Get 20 hours of battery & peak performance with Intel Core Ultra Series 3. CNC aluminum with excellent Linux support. Secure yours today!

I got my 13 a few months ago and it kind of sucks if I waited I could have gotten the 13 pro instead. However I won’t throw it all away or sell it to buy the pro even though I could. I’m planning on upgrading one part a year (or whenever they break), starting with the keyboard cover, to get to the pro. What are your plans?

      Is there a alternative that does have negative reputation that has similar views on right to repair and interchangeability and upgradability if components? I’m needing on that I can upgrade and repair on my own because I’m a poor American with little to no options.

        They’ve funded DHH, a British Danish white supremacist, creator of ruby on rails and omarchy. They gave material support (hardware) to him and their argument was basically that it didn’t go directly to him but to an organization he was a part of - they obscured this on the sponsorships page and idt omarchy’s sponsorship was ever even added

        Now it turns out they give money to a conference he made because he got banned from the original ruby on rails community for causing problems there

        They couldn’t even come out and say that they dont hold those views, threw a hissy fit on social media and then slightly adjusted their sponsorships page

        What they should have said:

        1. We dont hold those kinds of views
        2. Anyone who is intolerant of others is not welcome
        3. We will not support this person or their projects financially due to their controversial views
        4. We will be more careful about selecting sponsorships in the future

        They didnt do any of those 4 (maybe the 4th?)

          I see how that is upsetting. Let’s hope they get better since I really like the company.

        Framework seem happy to invest in the Omarchy and Hyprland projects. Omarchy is run by someone who pushes fascist agendas such as white nationalism, transphobia and eugenics. Hyprland is run by a developer who has been banned from freedesktop.org for failing to moderate the Hyprland community Discord and prevent abuse from there.

        Edit: I corrected misinformation stating the maintainer of Hyprland pushes fascist talking points. I don’t have evidence of that.
