It really depends on your usage environment, but one good thing is that its probably easier to clean the fans on a Framework Laptop than on most other laptops!
I found this to be the opposite of true. There is no easy way to clean the fan on the fw-13. You either need to take the mainboard out completely and disassemble the housing around the fan, or take the entire radiator off from the top and re-paste the cpu. I resorted to using a pick through the small gap on the top. I would say the fw-13 is the hardest to clean of any computer I've owned lately.
Still hoping for a fanless model one day.
They do sell risc development boards- i hope that either that becomes mature or a more efficient arm soc becomes an option.
hopefully such Arm option would have Arm SystemReady Compliance so you could just install whatever distro you want on it
