Framework and System76 are both doing great work. Glad they are able to make their businesses thrive, pay their employees and actually deliver a new age of “Linux on the laptop“.
Still looking forward to buying a Framework to put next to my System76

[0] the USB multimonitor used to suck but I think a popOS revision fixed that, and the internal microphone makes unusably bad audio.
My only complaints are ones that don't matter too much for me: battery life isn't great (5-6 hours) but I rarely need it to be, and it does get hot when playing games (but I usually do that on my PC).
I own a 12th gen framework and even though Linux works well on it, it won't save you from the occasional tinkering : How do I configure firefox to have it work well with the GPU ? Should I change the power-management software for something better ? Etc. Linux support is ok but it's not first class as I thought it would be. System76 clients seems to have better tuned software but the hardware seems less good. I wouldn't know.
If there was a premium option for Framework with PopOS + System76 support I would have paid for it, and I suspect I wouldn't be the only one.
