What country are you located in? If you're actually interested I could do a reship, but I also understand if you're not as interested given I'm just a random dude on Lemmy :)
No Thanks, I don't rlly need any laptop rn.
There are companies that do freight forwarding. Much less dodgy than random person on the internet. Would be worth checking out.
Alr
This partnership makes a lot of sense.
Hopefully this means coreboot support finally.
I like the prospect of more Linux hardware hitting the market with officially supported distros. The European Union should be funding this kind of stuff to supplant Microsoft within its borders.
Far from my distro of choice but better compatibility with one distro usually translates to similar improvements on the others.
I'm very interested in the framework laptops, a 14" UHD touchscreen one would be an instant buy, the current lineup is still tempting nonetheless.
That’s the beauty of Linux. The tide raises all ships.
I feel similar but with a 16-17” 3K resolution. Honestly it’s the biggest thing keeping me away from a Linux laptop and in my ancient 15” MacBook Pro.
Good stuff good stuff. Have been a Mac user for years now. But the Framework laptops sure are tempting. Then it will be Linux all the way. More free and more sustainable.
Same.
I think I would need comparable energy efficiency as well though. For portable machines it’s hard to go for an x86_64 one when I can get so much more battery life out of an arm one.
Getting official support for a distribution should help with a good out of the box battery life at least. But I think they’d need arm or riscv before it really becomes comparable?
I have had gone Mac because framework wasn't selling in my country, but got an email about two weeks back that they started selling here too, so once my macbook dies or becomes too slow I will be buying a framework
