Have been keeping half an eye on framework laptops as a potential next daily driver as and when I’m ready for one.
Just wondering what people’s experience of using them on linux has been, particularly nixos
I’m assuming all the drivers are in the kernel given the way the company is
Have been using a 2016 thinkpad for the past year or so and have had a decent experience with it, with the way lenovo have gone with their newer thinkpads it seems like framework is now the best for maintainability/upgradability
(not planning to upgrade in the immediate future as this machine is doing fine, but frameworks are a strong contender in my mind right now and I’m curious as to people’s experience)
It’s a program for running/playing ttrpgs (think d&d remotely). And I don’t think they’ve ever spun up without me trying to do something graphically intensive. But I also doing do builds so our cases might not overlap much.
If it doesn’t spin up at max CPU usage then builds won’t be a problem. I suppose ai might make it spin up but I’m not exactly doing that stuff every day anyway
Actually, yeah I forgot about AI. I play with that a little, and it definitely spins up for that. Framework did just put a video out about running AI on their 16" with modular graphics card. But integrated on the 13" is definitely a push.
