The #Framework Laptop 13 is a slightly unusual size and aspect ratio. So, instead of getting a case that "kind of" fits, I had one custom made from this great #Canadian artist from #Quebec on #Etsy who specializes in making things from kimono fabrics. This is my second one from them and the quality of both is excellent. If you are in the market for a new case, please give their shop a look:
@mntmn The interesting question would be: what is the performance of the #Framework cluster. This is not shown in the video. In another video someone tested #deepseek on a server with more than 1TB RAM. Spoiler: the performance is not really usable with local LLM in RAM (only 3 tokens per second).
Any @frameworkcomputer users out there?
Trying to decide if it was worth getting and how the experience is?

1/ First time using an M3 MacBook Air (work HW... that's for another post).
Comparing my #Framework 13 running Linux (Debian testing w/ Gnome):
Mac battery life/temp are way better. Not a big deal for me but it's a significant difference.
IMO the screens are similar (graphic designers will probably disagree). FW 3:2 ratio is very nice.
I don't get the obsession with the Mac touchpad. Both seem... fine.
Mac keyboard is objectively inferior. It's not even close.
Weight is near identical.
@kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social my company was considering a mandate for company computers for all work (new thing).
i agreed, and sent a link to the #framework 13 and said I'd run debian on it.
to my surprise I got approval from both my manager and IT!
it goes to show... if you don't ask, you won't get what you want (you'll get windows).
@killyourfm Very understandable. I will take saving space on a device with storage constraints, like these handhelds.
I haven't gotten the game yet, but when I do, I hope it plays better or I have a #framework desktop when I do get it.
It is also going to be a while before I order the desktop, need to save money right now. At least I can enjoy watching others test it out and run Bazzite.
Hmmm do the @frameworkcomputer laptops really not have a touch screen option? Deal breaker for me, even if there may be an update later on 
#framework
It arrived! I had a few misadventures last night with the Bluefin installer not wanting to set up a boot loader. Apparently it's a common issue that I was able to resolve by installing Fedora Workstation first to fully wipe out any existing partitions, and ensuring all the firmware was updated.
I'll write a follow-up thread with my early impressions later, but so far I'm impressed. If you are at SCALE22x come see me and I'll be happy to tell you in person.
A new TUI library just dropped and it's absolutely wild!

Whoa #Framework is fast! Laptop has shipped and there is a chance it might arrive the day before I leave for SCALE. Since it should just be a matter of swapping in a NVME drive, I might just be able to get up to speed immediately and present on this on Sunday!
Did you miss the @frameworkcomputer announcements last week? How? They have unveiled two new product offerings as well as continuing their commitment to upgrading your current system!
We are excited not just for these announcements, but also for their increased support of the Linux community as they do so. :)
New Framework 13 AMD Mainboard: https://community.frame.work/t/introducing-the-framework-laptop-13-powered-by-amd-ryzen-ai-300-series/65007
New Framework Desktop: https://community.frame.work/t/introducing-the-framework-desktop/65008
New Framework Laptop 12: https://community.frame.work/t/introducing-the-framework-laptop-12/65009
Oh, yes, I almost forgot. A year ago I left #microsoft and gave #linux a second try after my first effort in 2007 had failed. I bought a #framework Laptop and installed Ubuntu. Works fine.
Time for a new daily driver!
I've been using an older T-series Thinkpad I traded for a Librem 14 as my Bluefin laptop, but I finally decided it's time to upgrade to something modern. The current generation Framework 13 seemed like the perfect fit.
It's too bad it probably won't get to me before I leave for #scale22x, it would be fun to show it off there, but I'm excited regardless!
@frameworkcomputer ngl... putting the mainboard in a printer output.....
Either it's just "heh, mainboard fresh off the printer"
OR IT'S HINT RIGHT IN OUR FACES, that a #Framework PRINTER is in the works!?!
We see right through you Framework!!!
XDDD 
(low key excited for a printer though if that's actually happening. It'd instantly preorder 2)
The Framework Desktop looks pretty cool. I always wanted to downside my desktop, I care less about GPU performance these days, and want to have a desktop more intended for work. Plus, LAN party friendly. But I also am a very converted Apple user, so a Mac Mini has always been interesting. #framework
@frameworkcomputer If that chip doesn't support modularity then don't use it! To step away from your brand's very point of existence for something so unnecessary is just stupid, let alone on the PC market which is in fact *more modular* than your product.
You should've changed your plans once it was clear that chip supports neither modular memory nor dedicated GPUs. Now you can hardly criticize others for making stuff less modular & repairable without looking like a hypocrite.
#Framework
In case you missed it, this is an absolutely legendary slide.
#Framework
First impressions of #Framework's new products:
There's basically no info on the website on the Framework 12, their new convertable/touchscreeen laptop. It looks like it'll take modules, but I can't even confirm it shares a motherboard with the 13/16.
The desktop has a lot of caveats. Very svelte, mini-itx 4.5L. New motherboard form factor. One PCIe x4, which isn't exposed on the launch case.
But the USB C modules now come in colors.
Can anyone explain what #framework is? The name's too generic & I don't need to overload cloudflare further to hear about this week's AI infection announcements
