@framework Good morning from Spain!.
My Macbook Pro 2011 is dying. After upgrading it to the maximum, now it's stuck in an outdated OS and I can't install or update new software. So I want to escape from the “Apple cult”. No way to pay 3000 € for something you can't upgrade.
I am thinking seriously to buy a Framework 16' with the 8gb gpu to work with Ubuntu and Win11 for simulators. But I have heard some bad comments about the quality of the keyboard, the spacers, and the noisy fan. Any advice?

The keyboard is fine, but the spacers feel a bit flimsy. They’re sending out some sort of stickers to help fix that (haven’t received mine yet).

Overall I’m very satisfied with my frameworks, but coming from apple you’ll need to anticipate much worse audio and trackpad.
