Welcome to the community, that sounds so cool!

Hey Kyle, welcome to the community! Itā€™s nice to see that we have more and more Linux users on the forums every day!

YES, i like it! Just migrated my operating system Windows 10 from XPS 15 (9560) to Laptop 16. I have used WIMage Sript from German magazin cĀ“t and everything is working very well (with all programs, dokuments, special setupsā€¦)

Hello, new to this all. I am currently saving up for a framework 13. Trying to justify it as I do have a work laptop and a nice desktop, but I would love to have something of my own on the go.

Hi! Iā€™ve just received the shipping notification for my Framework 26 and am excited to get my hands on it. Iā€™m an IT specialist in the DC area of the US. Iā€™m not quite forty, and Iā€™m visually impaired. That last bit is important only because it changes the way I interact with things like this forum and the setup guides, ETC. Iā€™m noticing that things in the DIY world are very visual, and I donā€™t even have light perception. At any rate, Iā€™m giving over as much after-work and weekend time to this as I can amnage, and I canā€™t wait to see if this beauty is worth the wait and money. I love the idea of a laptop I can maintain in stages for a decade or more. Thanks to the Framework team for making such a great idea real. Count me in to the future!

Welcome to the Community Christina, your feedback for our setup guides will be very valuable to us!

Howdy everyone!

Iā€™m an accountant/system administrator in the U.S. I have Framework 13 and Framework 16, both pre-orders. As someone who manages a companyā€™s ā€œusualā€ technology and is tired of planned obsolescence and unnecessary e-waste due to current companies, I hope to see a company like Framework take off and rule the world of technology.

Framework is the tech we need for our future, and I would like to think that even by spending a little on two systems, I am even a tiny part of the better technology of the future.

Hi everyone Jonnie from the UK here. Iā€™ve really enjoyed reading through these posts. I am all in for a FW16 to use for music production. I work offshore and travel a lot so a desktop is no use. I, like many seemingly, have always previously used macs but have been put off by their memory and storage prices - I will max out the RAM on the 16 and hopefully never look back!

Glad to have a community to call on as I get used to using Windows and new hardware for the foreseeable future!

Batch 20 pre-order in the bag.

Greetings, fellow frameworkers!

Iā€™m Kostya, a Computer Science and Engineering student from Spain, whoā€™s excited for the future of upgradeable and repairable tech!

I have just received my Batch 11 Framework 16 and canā€™t wait to try out Arch with ALHP/CachyOS repositories on it, alongside Sway WM to squeeze absolutely every drop of performance out of my machine, while documenting it all on my YouTube channel.

I stand completely behind Frameworkā€™s mission statement, and hope that together we can shift the market to a more sustainable, consumer-friendly future!

Framework FTW!!

Hi Kostya, welcome to the community! Iā€™m pretty sure weā€™ll have lot of people here who will be interested in your Framework Laptop 16 related YouTube content!

It hasnā€™t worked for me.

I decided to with Framework after hearing good things about the 13" Intel version and my Razer 14 laptop decided to die on me probably due to overheating. Asurion gave me the cost of the laptop back and I decided to use that to get the Framework 16.

Thank you! :smile:

Hello! My name is Gabriel! Looking forward to my B-19 Framework 16 laptop! Iā€™m mostly a software guy but looking forward to a more flexible laptop platform after getting tired of OEM parts problems, lack of support, poorly built, unmaintainable laptops.

If anyone has questions about canoeing or hiking recommendations in northern Wisconsin, Minnesota, or Michiganā€™s UP shoot me a DM. :slight_smile:
