Framework announced the Framework 13 Pro including full Linux support right from the beginning.
Some quick information about the Device:
- will use Intel Core Ultra 300 (Panther-Lake)
- updated Battery Design with (up to) 20h Battery life
- custom designed Display Panel with Touch support (keeping the 3:2 aspect ratio)
- LPCAMM2 for upgradable/replacable RAM without compromising on Speed/Low Power of LPDDR5X
- milled Aluminium Unibody chassis
- Full Linux support right from the start (including Firmware update via LVFS, Fingerprint Reader, etc.)
- Haptic Touchpad
- and all the repairability features Framework is known for
You can watch their YouTube Video for a quick summary:
I was looking for a new laptop to replace my old Lenovo Yoga 370 and initially disregarded the Framework 13 because of some downsides (low Battery Life, bad Camera, etc.) and was looking to go with one of the following devices:
- HP Elitebook X g1a
- the new Dell XPS 14
- Asus Expertbook PM5 G2
or also a MacBook pro. I am using Linux since more then 10 years and never touched MacOS at all. So I was not sure if MacOS would work for me.
But this announcement made it easy: It will be a Framework 13 Pro with Intel X7 358H!
Still funding fascists tho
All the CEO needed to say after funding that fascist was:
They didn't have to make a big deal about it, even a simple quickly forgotten post on their personal social media account would have been enough.
People still ask him about it, and he'll talk about anything else.
But he won't give a simple apology.
His silence is deafening.
Better to just go for the EU version of framework without the fascism: https://novacustom.com/
Edit: Changed "All the CEO had to say" to "All the CEO needed to say" to avoid confusion.
Neat! I'm going to check them out in more detail later
Also, mnt re - https://mntre.com/index.html
I still love the pocket reform....
Thanks for the heads up, I was trying to find if they're still facist. I always felt bad seeing how much promotion framework laptops get after their lukewarm response, and now I can recommend an alternative.
Novacustom uses rebranded Clevos, just like TUXEDO.
He is still a fascist, that's why no apology.
Get off your high horse. The first sentence was ‘sorry’.
Find something real to get mad about.
Pretty sure you've misread. That was not a quote of what they said, it was a suggestion of what they should say.
You misunderstood the first sentence in my comment.
I've edited the word
hadtoneededto make it more clear.These dorks care about the dumbest shit and not anything important
They need that next hit of outrage and self-righteousness.
Not supporting fascists is self-righteous now? Are you actually serious?
Support or don't support who you want.
How you and your friends here present your arguments and interact with the community appears more like chasing the high of outrage and drama farming than attempting to engage in a conversation on the topic.
Doing things like putting words into other people's mouth, and then attacking the strawman of your own creation for example:
There's no topic to engage upon. There's merely a fascist vendor trying to enter a community space from which they were already ejected.
Everyone doesn't know the things you know.
You are here, in a new post, making conclusory statements without backing them up. How do you expect other people to become aware of this thing that you think is so important if your (or whoever's) first reaction is to attack people as if they disagree with you instead of explaining your argument?
It reads like drama farming and the toxic behaviors of the other people on 'your side' only adds to that impression.
Cal down you clown. People can decide to spend their own money in whatever way they see fit.
Are they, though? I do think it is not right how their public stance is just "we want to be politically neutral". But at the end of the day, when you look at who is actually receiving funding from them now, it looks like they are no longer funding the projects that the community has a problem with: https://frame.work/blog/framework-sponsorships
You are right, no sign of it listed. Odd, I've not heard of any resignation of the CEO.
I don't think the CEO or anyone else was at fault, one of their teams picked people for the company to support, it was either before bad behaviour became apparent, or ignorant of it, then the community complaints and they fixed it
What's to complain about?
Are they no longer funding them, or are they just not reporting it anymore?
I don't want them politically neutral. I want them to do right for other humans.
They're still funding Hyprland
They're so committed to funding fascists that they shut down their own discord server because they couldn't handle the complaints
