I've written this blog post from the point of view of the first few days of use. I've had it for about 2 weeks now and haven't really wanted to migrate over.
As for it being one person's experience, unfortunately not. If you search any of the issues you'll find people on the framework forums complaining about the same things.
>The other thing I really dislike about Apple is their stance on privacy. They're bad, like really bad on privacy. Despite the advertising hypocrisy, which since the porn filter debacle has been bunk, whenever you have your mac connected to the internet most of what you're doing is being recorded. There is literally 30+ daemon processes constantly phoning home and doing all sorts of telemetry.
Suggestion: You should have left this bit out or provided citations. It's such a gross exaggeration that it leans into tin-foil hat territory IMHO.
I'm curious about your experience with framework but I couldn't get past this part.
here's the details on that: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29229881#29230318
I understand that launching apps pings an apple server to check certificates (for example) but I've never heard much of anything more egregious than that.
The phrase "most of what you're doing" implies recording keystrokes, web browsing history + clicks (and so on).
That's an odd thing to say about a company so well known for its privacy stance the FBI tried to shame Apple to get backdoors put in after the San Bernardino massacre and they said no.
If Linux distributions advertised as working out of the box by developers of Framework don't work as advertised... is it only about Linux, or is it about Framework Laptop, too?
Are there other operating systems that can run on it?
And the author does mention scouring Framework Laptop forums for answers to his problems and finding people reporting the same issues.
> Are there other operating systems that can run on it?
All the standard ones. Windows too.
Unfortunately I can't test this on windows, as I mentioned, this is a work tool for me so just torrenting a windows iso isn't an option and I don't want to pay out 190USD to test something that may or may not be dependent on the OS.
Windows also isn't an option as it's not suitable for the development that I do. So any of the problems that I encounter on linux that aren't supported ultimately become a mute point as I can't switch.
Given that Framework support Fedora and aren't a Windows only laptop, I would ask you this, what is a laptop but the hardware and software it runs? They've been working with Fedora to get things right, but they still have more work to do as per the post and my explanatory comments here.
Brightness adjustment I just disabled, literally not going to spend any more time on that as it would be disabled anyway.
Windows can be downloaded and installed for free these days. You've got a month for activation.
Regardless of the opinion on systems, I was interested whether the touchpad issues are going to be fixed with time on this model (software problem), or not (hardware problem).
