This looks great. My only comment is whether the population for whom this is interesting wouldn't be more likely to want Linux? I suspect the focus on Windows is misplaced.
I might get one, but I'd want 100% Linux support, notably wrt. power management.
EDIT: language
- tele_ski 5y agoThe faq says they'll support main distros, but power management with Linux is always not great in my experience, hopefully it works out!
- yewenjie 5y agoIs TLP not enough? I would be curious to know how else people manage power on laptops here.
- SkyMarshal 5y agoPoP!_OS would be worth trying, it's built for laptops, could probably do power management well on this one.
- rodolphoarruda 5y agoI visited the website just to check which distro they were using. I was surprised when I saw the only two "distros" available. LOL
- nrp 5y agoDefinitely. We ship the Framework Laptop DIY Edition without an OS under the expectation that folks will bring their preferred distro. We're testing with Ubuntu 21.04 and Fedora 34, and the recent respins of the latter have full Framework Laptop support out of the box.
- muixoozie 5y agoI'm going to try to install another distro on it. Is there anything I (or the open source community at large) can do to help test or add support?
