It was tricky to get it to snap into place cleanly and I had to jostle some of the monitor wires into place while installing. The instructions did note that this was a common challenge point and so I was prepared for moving the wires. Once installed it's good quality.

That's how the dress is staying up.

Framework 13 DIY edition. I've been quite happy so far and so has she. Configuring it was trivial and the one issue I ran into (setting up backups) was due to my not being familiar with fedora and KDE. Build quality is good, the bezel was the only part that gave me pause. She doesn't use it a ton so it's likely any minor nagging quirks will take a while to tease out.

Bought my wife a framework laptop, slapped fedora on it and have been helping her make the switch. So far so good other than Obsidian not working the same as OneNote.

I had never heard Rubicon used outside of jeeps. Your comment piqued my interest and I learned something. Thank you.

.most US baseball stadiums I've been to are using troughs. They are very much present in the US.

Thank you. I think seeing what you were able to do with that module helps significantly. Along with other folks feedback I've gone ahead and ordered a framework 13 for my wife. Now need to poke at fedora and see if I want her on that distro or something else I'm more comfortable supporting.

Cheers!

 

I'm looking into a new laptop and really like what I see from framework. One point I'm concerned about is buying into a repairable system but being wholly reliant on a small relatively new player to continue providing specially modularized parts (e.g. the USB modules). Is this concern valid or is there something I'm overlooking?

Side question: has anyone had luck with PopOS on a framework?

I don't know a single American that believes what you just said. Most of us recognize this as bullshit.

Note: I'm not in a deep red state

Side question that may be relevant since this is for local collections. Does anyone have a recommended tool for ripping and tagging audio CDs (e.g. with musicbrainz support)?

At almost all jobs income tax is taken out by the employer and paid to the government before the worker sees a dime. There is no ly a little bit anyone can do by filing alternate tax witholding documents with their employer.

This is awesome! Looks like it's time to load a newVM and play! Can't wait for when it hits production ready.
