This sounds like a case of misguided expectations. I like the framework laptop, but it's still very early days and there are bound to be some growing pains along the way. This would be like getting upset that the pinephone, as cool as it is, doesn't work as well as newest iPhone. Of course it doesn't.
If you want a rock solid computer that "just works", but also respects your privacy, just buy a used Thinkpad and throw something like Manjaro on it. You can set up your entire dev environment in an afternoon with zero hardware issues. You can get an excellent used Thinkpad for under $1,000 very easily on eBay.

And honestly could you blame me? >Framework Laptop review: The anti-MacBook has arrived https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28239958 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28239958
- tharne 5y agoWow, after reading that review, I definitely do not blame you. That review is very misleading at best.
