Since I am in Rome for a couple of days, I decided to come to work at the Library of the Senate of the Italian Republic this fine morning.
The library staff is not friendly at all, but the place is crazy.
I was asked what kind of laptop this is, and of course I proudly replied: “it’s a @frameworkcomputer, you should get one

#Linux Weekly Roundup for March 2nd, 2025: #NVIDIA 570 graphics driver hits stable, #NetworkManager 1.52 addsIPvlan interface support, #Armbian 25.2 ships Linux kernel 6.12 LTS, #FrameworkDesktop, #FrameworkLaptop 12, #LibreOffice 25.2.1 fixes 77 bugs, #KDE Plasma 6.3.2, #LinuxMint's revamped #Cinnamon app menu, and more https://9to5linux.com/9to5linux-weekly-roundup-march-2nd-2025
@eri even for a #Laptop or #Tablet I consider the #FrameworkDesktop a total "#WontBuy!" on my end, as it has less #Upgradeability and #Repiarability than a #Lenovo #X230Tablet or #Fairphone #FP3plus, mich less anything I consider "#Desktop" hardware.
It's really sad when #DIYperks put in more effort than an entire company at designing a Desktop!
Alright, so. Recently, about once a day, my #FrameworkLaptop 16 has been doing ... this.
This results in the loss of all USB.
Which includes the internal keyboard, any external keyboards, any bluetooth keyboards... basically, everything except the trackpad, which is HID-over-I2C, and the power button, which is wired to the cros EC. I wind up having to hard-power-cycle the machine.
I'm resisting the urge to throw this annoyingly bendy laptop out a window. Anybody got any ideas for how to debug this? @frameworkcomputer ?
#Framework Announces Framework Desktop and 2-in-1 Framework Laptop 12 https://9to5linux.com/framework-announces-framework-desktop-and-2-in-1-framework-laptop-12
Okay, ich gebe zu, das hier könnte ich mir selbst ergoogeln, aber eigentlich muss ich gerade Geschirr spülen und vielleicht hat ja jemand Bock, es mir zu beantworten:
Ich will mir ein #FrameworkLaptop 13 (Ryzen 7840U) mit 32 GB RAM klicken und evtl. irgendwann mal auf 64 GB upgraden. Wie viel Performance verlier ich, wenn ich ein 32er Modul nehme statt zwei 16er? Ist Dual-Channel überhaupt ein Ding bei der CPU?
Ich würd halt ungern jetzt zwei 16er kaufen und dann später zwei 32er.
Celebrating #Christmas the geek way: I decorated my #Framework giving it a festive mood, and making it ready for #38C3 too!

Teil 4
Moin. :-)
Ich denke, ich kann mal ein vorläufiges Fazit geben zu Linux auf einem Framework Laptop.
Wir haben gestern noch die Kamera getestet, und ja, ich hab mich halt für die Version mit der ersten Generation Kamera in dem Laptop entschieden, weil ich ausser mal unimäßig/arbeitsmäßig in ner Viko zu hängen damit, nix mache mit der Kamera. Von daher ist mir das egal, ob die nur 720p kann. Joa, ansonsten funktioniert das zusammen mit dem Mikrofon sehr gut unter Linux.
Alles in allem ist der Framework Laptop für mich bis jetzt eine gute, solide Wahl gewesen:
Handlich, nicht zu schwer, tolle Farben bei Display, okaye Kamera. Lautsprecher find ich super. WLan und Bluetooth funktionieren einwandfrei. Touchpad, Tastatur und Fn-Funktionstasten auch alles gut. Akku ist einigermaßen ok, ist jetzt nicht das riesige Durchhaltevermögen, aber für meine Zwecke okay.
Was man bei den Anschlussmodulen zum Stecken direkt merkt, ist, dass die superfest sitzen und man ein wenig Kraft aufwenden muss um die zu wechseln. Aber ansonsten funktionieren die auch sehr gut.
Die meisten Probleme hab ich eigtl nicht wegen dem Laptop, sondern wegen Plasma6. 
So, hoffe, dass der tolle neue Laptop nun genauso lange duchhält, wie der alte Lenovo: 12 Jahre. 
The Framework Laptop 16 has just leveled up! 
With the new Dual M.2 Adapter, users can now add two extra M.2 slots for incredible storage options, potentially reaching up to 38TB! 
This modular enhancement is a game-changer for those needing extra speed and capacity. Check out the details here:

@ustralien So yeah I am sad that @frameworkcomputer didn't work out a deal with like #Sprintek to get a #Trackpoint into the #FrameworkLaptop and I'm pissed that #Lenovo discontinued their #ThinkPad #TrackPoint Keyboard for a new and #enshittified version that cost double the price of the #Bluetooth and triple the #wired version before and is #WirelessOnly aka. can't even be used via #USB without a shitty #dongle, making it basically impossible for me to use.
Needless to say I'd still see #Framework & #Fairphone as the only options on the market right now if I had to buy stuff that is available right now!
@ustralien Sadly no, and that's my big disappointment!
@frameworkcomputer decided to choose the #Apple-esque "flat cells below #trackpad" design in the unreasonable #THINN-ness race instead of doing what even the #EeePC and #Sony's #Vaio #P11Z did and have a slot at the back to chug in batteries!
Not that I don't like those #modules, but I'd rather wish for a "#THICC-er" device if that gets me essentials like #Ethernet, #USB-A & -C as well as a #TRRS #HeadphoneJack / #HeadsetJack.
That being said the #Framework is still by a long margin the "least #enshittified" device on the market, and same goes for the #Fairphone devices...
Not to mention they don't have an #UltraNav-Style #Trackpoint and I do use that instead of a Trackpad.
Debian stable and the Framework 16
"I recently acquired a Framework 16 and while the ThinkPad has practically nothing in common with it, the cycle of buying a new ThinkPad every three to five years may finally be broken. What follows is a rough synopsis of how I got there and how its going."
After annoying my very pro #Apple / #developer friend about #linux, #NixOS and my #FrameworkLaptop , he had to pick one up to play.
He kinda assumed it would be a toy compared to his M1 pro...
It's not :). Pretty cool
Linux Mint and Framework Laptops Join Forces
"Linux Mint partners with Framework Laptops, aiming for full compatibility with easy-to-upgrade, high-quality laptops for Linux users."

This #FrameworkLaptop 13 amd is quickly becoming my favorite laptop of all time.
Right up there with my 2012 MacBook pro and the old MacBook air.
It feels amazing, fast, reliable, and easy to live with. And that's not even counting that fact that it's the most repairable laptop ever made.
If you're on the fence, do it!
I just got my @frameworkcomputer merch! 
I am so glad to be a #Framework #Linux #Community #Ambassador.
I’d be super happy to show and let anyone who wants play around with these nifty goodies at the next events I am going to attend.
@zuul My #FrameworkLaptop has a $39 ethernet module with 2.5GB. It connects at full speed with my router, but my ISP is 1 GB, so it doesn't really matter, currently.
Searching "USB ethernet 2.5gb" on Newegg and Amazon shows a variety of stuff also in that $20-50 range. It seems like a reasonable upgrade if you can use the bandwidth.
@wi I'd go with something uncertified like a @frameworkcomputer / #FrameworkLaptop or a #RaspberryPi #CM4 / #Pi400 / #Pi5...
If you're looking for a distopian future with no freedom and no values, go and buy proprietary Hardware like #Google, #Microsoft and #Apple.
If you would rather cause a change and let society thrive, go and look for #iode, #fairphone, #FrameworkLaptop, #starlabssystems, #tuxedocomputers and alike.
People vote with their money. It's as simple as that. Every business understands it.
Installed 13" 2.8K display on the #FrameworkLaptop - and it is glorious. Also, matte, which makes a nice change.
