I was waiting to read a trustworthy review, so just watched the video. Glad to hear that it's pretty good. Build quality was what I was worried about but it sounds generally good. My only other question is Linux driver support. There was a brief mention about fingerprint scanner in Linux, but I really appreciate that Thinkpads under something like Fedora just work out of the box. Hopefully Framework will have similar support - it seems like the sort of laptop linux hackers would like to be using!

The latest Fedora 34 respins (and soon Fedora 35) work out of the box with everything including the fingerprint reader. Ubuntu 21.04 supports everything but the fingerprint reader, which needs libfprint 1.92.0. There is a pretty active community of Framework Laptop users now providing tips on how to set up different distros: https://community.frame.work/c/diy-edition/linux/91 https://community.frame.work/c/diy-edition/linux/91
