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)

Do you know if the fans are particularly loud? Something I love about my ThinkPad is that it’s basically silent

I meant the framework, but fair enough
Supposedly the newer macs were quite good at heat dissipation, was that iBullshit?

I’ve heard people complain, but mine are so quiet I thought they weren’t spinning. I think the difference is the external GPU, which I do not have.
Ah interesting, I was considering not bothering with the GPU as I only plan to use the thing for work anyway
What’s the battery life like without, I heard from someone else 3 or 4 hours of normal usage but unsure if that’s with or without
I just learned about the fans, and my plans to get a framework next time tanked.
