I'm thinking of getting one of these: https://frame.work/
Any people here with experience with one?

My only other question is Linux driver support. There was a brief mention about fingerprint scanner in Linux, but I really appreciate that Thinkpads under something like Fedora just work out of the box. Hopefully Framework will have similar support - it seems like the sort of laptop linux hackers would like to be using!
I haven't owned a PC laptop in several years - the last one I tried was a System76 with an abysmal keyboard. Turns out I need to type to have a functional laptop!
I ordered one of these Framework machines today, should ship in September. Seems promising. I am hoping that things just work after I install Linux on it and I can get down to writing code with minimal setup and configuration.
Apparently Linux runs everything out of the box except the fingerprint reader. It's still unknown whether there'll be an official fix and when.
My plan is to use it as my daily-non-work development computer. I just started playing around with NixOS on the server side and will likely use NixOS on my Framework laptop.
It’s an exciting concept and appears to be well executed. I’ll reserve full judgement til I’ve used it for a while.
