Good stuff good stuff. Have been a Mac user for years now. But the Framework laptops sure are tempting. Then it will be Linux all the way. More free and more sustainable.

Hopefully Apple will be forced to become repairable again like during pre-2015.

Oh yeah, with my 2008 MBP I have had replaced multiple parts and the screen. To try that now is a fools errand.

I have had gone Mac because framework wasn't selling in my country, but got an email about two weeks back that they started selling here too, so once my macbook dies or becomes too slow I will be buying a framework

Same.
I think I would need comparable energy efficiency as well though. For portable machines it’s hard to go for an x86_64 one when I can get so much more battery life out of an arm one.
Getting official support for a distribution should help with a good out of the box battery life at least. But I think they’d need arm or riscv before it really becomes comparable?
