No problem! And it doesn't remove from your point about cars making us behave differently

Altis made a very informative video about the whole thing

We have our own to deal with, you can keep the bitch, tyvm

Thanks for the advice! The 16 is probably as overkill as you say, but I've come to prefer a larger machine to work on.

I already have Proxmox installed on a secondhand mini-pc (one of those NUC / thin-client like office machines) and it's been a great way to (re)learn a few things indeed!

Thanks for the heads-up. I've seen that the first gen had a few issues, I understand your frustration. I even saw a solution involving soldering a wire onto the motherboard? My hope is that they got better as they gained experience, and that hardware support on Linux will only imrove with time.

Yeah the proposition of Framework is what draws me to it. Price-wise it's more expensive than any other alternative, but it's still quite unique, and it ticks a lot of boxes that other don't (open-source firmware keyboard on a laptop ? whaaaaa) Your dual boot setup is interesting! How did you manage to get this setup? Is it just a matter of installing windows on the external storage and selecting it as priority when booting? It would be nice to have the option.

I'm in Europe, so System76 can quickly become expensive here, with shipping, taxes, duties, etc. Tuxedo would be the alternative (I think they use the same OEM, Clevo, anyway). Thanks for the rec though!

Wow thanks! I didn't know this existed, this is great!

 

I'm looking for a new work laptop and I'd like to jump to Linux at the same time. I was hoping to get some input from here because I'm still undecided!

Maybe some context first : the switch is not urgent. My current machine still works. I'd like to change it because of a few quirks and problems (for me) it has, it will find a happy owner afterwards. As for the job, I'm a dev (mostly Java and web). I need something that can run a few docker containers, multiple instances of intellij, but that's pretty much it and it's not a complicated requirement to fill. Also, I'm in Europe.

I've been looking mostly at Tuxedo and Framework, with a preference for the later 16 inch model.

Does anybody have experience with Linux support on the framework 16? With, for example, Fedora? Other than that, any recommendation / thing to pay attention to? I have some experience with Linux but it's been a while since I've run it as a desktop os, and my knowledge has never been in depth, so any help will be greatly appreciated :)
