Hello, glad you're here but I'd urge you to remember that while a minority at HN is highly knowledgeable and technical, hn is an hive-mind opinionated niche and hope that you'd make decisions that widen your reach among general populace so that your firm survives to make money and eventually more such laptops. (Also, hopefully your laptop will play with linux as well as Lenovo's at some point in future).
- teekert 6y agoDid you find they don't work well with Linux? That'd be a big shame, I think the Foss crowd likes these kind of initiatives.
- mymindstorm 6y agoIt seems like it will work just fine: > For those of you who love to tinker, we’ve also created the Framework Laptop DIY Edition, the only high-end notebook available as a kit of modules that you can customize and assemble yourself, with the ability to choose Windows or install your preferred Linux distribution.
- whitten 6y agoThe modularity of a Framework Laptop promises a lot of good. I know there are some workplaces where having wifi working is not permitted. Is this modular enough to have a wired networking plug and not have a wireless wifi ? Thanks for your info
- NicoJuicy 6y agoPretty rude and then you ask them to focus on <2% of market share... Perhaps there are more urgent tasks for "targeting the general populace to reach profitability".
- tomtheelder 6y agoI think you've interpreted the comment you replied to completely backwards.
- NicoJuicy 6y agoYou sure? It's a new account and it's a totally weird comment without any real value. Ps. That's why I hate potential sarcasm.
- input_sh 6y agoIt might be <2% of all market, but amongst tinkerers? I'd be surprised if it's below like 10-15%.
- ogre_codes 6y agoThis is what I was thinking. Maybe even more. If this laptop doesn’t support Linux, it’s a big missed opportunity.
