I agree with both of you guys. I've had my 11th gen Framework (DIY running Linux) for a year now, and I'm in love. However, I wouldn't recommend it to the average person. That person should probably just get a cheap Chromebook (not the $999 one sold by Framework), or Surface Pro running Windows S mode that's impossible to break (in software), which runs perfectly out-of-the-box and can go to the Best Buy Geek Squad or Microsoft store whenever they need help. My opinion is that the Framework will never be a mass market product because the average person doesn't want to spend time choosing individual hardware components and taking it apart to swap them when they need a repair or upgrade. I think they should just double-down on serving the niche desktop Linux and tinkerer market.
