I am considering a purchase as a student although it is really expensive.

What are your major criticisms of the framework laptop?

E.g.

- I have heard that it discharges battery even while powered off (a very serious issue IMO).

Also, I will be using win10/11 and fedora most likely. So any Linux-related issues (e.g. hardware support) I would really like to know.

Thanks for any ideas.

The screen housing seems a bit flimsy, if that makes sense. I grab a top corner to close the laptop and there is way more flex than I’m comfortable with. Instead, I have gotten in the habit of using the top center to close the laptop.
