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.
wish they sold framework laptops in my country :(
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
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.
Of all the distros out there, they went with Mint?
I am semi-literate in “computers”. That means I can build my own PC, do no coding, but manage to troubleshoot most things by sheer stubborness, search and the odd question on a “forum” In other words not afraid of tech.
I can’t be bothered to sift through endless overengineered BS for a PC to do the few things I need it to do these days. Web browser, Steam and streaming, while not scraping every ounce of personal data and sending it to various entities for nefarious purposes. I have Mint, it works out of the box and I don’t have to tinker with it, but enough customizability if I want to.
What’s wrong with Mint?
They have a similar partnership with Fedora
System76 with extra steps, both even being ubuntu based
that’s called competition
Sure but are there even any retail pc manufacturers maintaining ANY non-ubuntu distros?
Framework with Fedora, whom they’ve partnered with basically since launch
This partnership makes a lot of sense.
