I love my framework. Ubuntu and Fedora work out of the box. I didn’t like the glossy screen but they even fixed that. The only problem is that I cannot justify to replace a 1 year old screen just because it’s glossy.
How is the battery life?
I don’t think I’m in the market for a new laptop for a while, but when I next am, I think my main requirements are going to be Linux compatibility (no or near zero issues) and battery life.
I have Ubuntu running on a 9 year old Dell. What’s the issue with compatibility? Is that even an issue anymore?
The benefits of Linux is that older hardware may have strong driver support.
I have a Razer Blade. It used to have issues waking from suspend. When I’ve tried to use integrated graphics instead of Nvidia to try to squeeze more battery life, that issue returned and the old fix doesn’t seem to work.I also have had problems where it was getting frozen on the lock screen.
I’d like it if my next laptop had better Linux support. Good drivers, good battery life.
If they come out with one that doesn’t use the goofy screen ratio then it’s an auto-buy for my next laptop. Even if they don’t it’s way up on my short list.
TBH, I don’t think I’ll ever consider a laptop without a 16:10 or 3:2 screen now. Having that extra real estate is so good, and usually comes with a larger trackpad too.
I personally love the screen ratio
I have a framework laptop that I run Linux on. It has been a fantastic machine so far!
Is the fan sound bad?
My fan rarely turns on even as a developer.
Thanks appreciate the response, it’s always do hard to parse through the reviews and comments. I like the idea anyways though so I think I will look at the 13 for a work computer.
