It's a blog post on our company blog. We used to write them weekly to share more detail on different parts of the hardware and systems we're building, but took a pause as we worked through launch. We're now starting back up. We don't post these directly anywhere but our own website, email lists, and social channels, and I assume throwawaysea (who doesn't seem to be a throwaway account) is subscribed to one of those.

That's okay. You're free to write whatever you want on your blog and others are free to submit it here to HN. Even if you submit it yourself I don't see that as a problem. My comment is that there really isn't much of substance in the article. It's very short and doesn't contain much information in it. I like the Framework laptop, but I think this post doesn't do a lot. Best of luck!

  You have to look at intent. I don't think the intent of this article was to create anything new, provide some intrinsic value, or serve as any kind of in-depth resource. I believe the intent of this article was to serve as a primer / entry point for the question of "linux on a framework laptop" for users who are arriving at their website via a search engine or searching around their website. It seems to already be performing well from an SEO perspective. When you own content on the internet it's not so much about just having it somewhere but it's also to ensure that the user journey is as frictionless as possible and that your information is conveyed in a way that is easy to consume.

  I totally disagree. Mine is arriving any day now and one of the most important pieces of info that I needed was there. Fedora 34 will need an update before everything will work.

I agree that it's short, but I found the information very useful. I've ordered a framework laptop (expected to be delivered today, if FedEx plays nice), and was really excited to read the content of the email. It's super helpful in deciding which linux distro I want to start out with, and has links to the forum threads where people are sorting out support for each distro. Exactly the kind of content I need as I start down the path of getting the laptop setup. So +1 for short, but I strongly disagree that the post doesn't contain much information.
