This looks super interesting for a long-term laptop, but small arrow keys bring me so much day-to-day anguish I wouldn't want to suffer through them long-term.

Seems to me like you could power some of the ports with a hub/switch if you're willing to restrict which ports accept advanced peripherals. You could even use a PCIe switch to get more Thunderbolt.
Yeah the trick would be thunderbolt more than anything, USB-C out to all four ports would be easy enough with a hub?

It works fine if /boot is unencrypted. You can encrypt the rest of / and it's fine.
Doesn't running /boot without encryption open up a class of attacks?
I don't get whats up with that "deep sleep", like there was S3 suspend for ages - did anything happen to it? Why can't you just suspend it and call it a day?
Newer Intel CPUs don't support S3 anymore. They now use something called S0ix which is apparently much more power hungry.
What about AMD?
For all framework laptop owners, I'm considering to buy this for myself this christmas. My previous laptop I owned are mostly MBP, laptop from work is mbp, and my own gaming PC. 1 of the reason why I like MBP is the sturdiness and build quality, but i'm ready to go on diy stuff and leave apple for my next laptop. I was watching Dave2D video but when I saw the spring of the hinge when opening the laptop and the flex o…
In cases where you may damage the device, part of the beauty is that all of the parts are sold by Framework and come with replacement guides and any tools you may need (usually just the included screwdriver).

Just take the time to learn systemd. Once you do, like nix, it saves so much time
systemd is so complex, I've come to a conclusion, that it no longer fits my definition of free software. We allow runaway complexity to obscure the inner workings of an important software package, to the point, where having source access no longer makes a practical difference to a "casual" power-user or even a software engineer. I can source-dive runit, s6, OpenBSD's rc, or OpenRC and within a weekend, have a pretty…
tangential; are there plans for `fwupd` support for Framework? I love my LG Gram 17" but `fwupd` support might make me consider Framework

Framework + NixOS is the most exciting hardware + OS going IMHO. If someone wants to do a crowdfunding or devpay or similar to make them work out of the box together, I will gladly donate or pay.
Can you do NixOS without systemd? If not, I'd look elsewhere for the distro. Maybe Guix?
However having used it, NixOS seems like it mitigates the worst aspects of systemd. It gets rid of that that /etc/systemd /lib/systemd symlink "cleverness" for overriding/enabling units. Being functional makes it so that when systemd mysteriously breaks - for example if there is a loop in dependencies - it's easy to track down the change that caused it. And rather than splaying the config out in a bunch of random "unit" files, it's all contained in the nix config. About the worst thing I can say is that defining your own service is a bit more obtuse that it needs to be, with the arbitrary terms of the systemd unit format carrying over into the Nix config.
> Apparently, KDE Plasma5 does the scaling right. Setting it to 150% gives pleasuring look. Overall, I find KDE’s approach with a taskbar much more reasonable than what Gnome forces on me. It’s the paradigm shift from “tell me what you need” (modern Gnome, also Google) to “show me what you have” (KDE and others application menu, also your file manager). I like this aside and I noticed the same when I tried to use Gno…
