    Using my framework laptop feels like a never ending struggle sometimes but I really like the idea of modular, repairable laptops so here I am.

    Edit: I have the FW13 12th gen intel

    • The screen has a very slow pixel response time, the ghosting is absolutely real
    • The screen is wobbly when I type (fixable with upgraded hinges)
    • The track pad is constantly dropping inputs
    • The screen resolution is generally awkward and fractional scaling is still hit or miss on Linux
    • Updating to the latest firmware (BIOS) required me to install WINDOWS (just for the update)
    • For some reason switching to Linux kernel deep sleep mode causes a total system failure that can only be recovered by physically removing the battery and CMOS.
    • Physically removing the battery is sketchy

    FWIW this is still my daily driver but I do sometimes consider seeing if anyone wants to trade for a ThinkPad haha

    Edit 2: If anyone has insight on the deep sleep issue I’m all eyes (biblically accurate angel mode).
