From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

If so how long? I'd like one, but can't wait forever.

Maybe I don't understand, but I see it in stock and I was able to add it to my cart. Are you outside the US?

Oh - yes - sorry - I'm not interested in the AI series. Should have said that.

I wish I could say "same here", but the prices are quite different 😥️

They don't provide any useful info.

I wouldn't recommend going framework at all honestly. All usb functionality stopped working on mine for no reason and after a lengthy chat with customer support they just told me to buy a new mainboard. I was outside of warranty but the issue seemed like a hardware failure at no fault of my own and the warranty window is pretty short.

Thanks - that's helpful. What's your go-to for a linux laptop that has the build quality of Apple?

So your complaint is that your warranty expired and they had parts you could buy to repair it?

He also mentionned that their warranty is pretty short.

I understood the message like he was complaining that everything is falling down just after warranty, which is not what you would expect from Framework.
