Have been keeping half an eye on framework laptops as a potential next daily driver as and when I’m ready for one.
Just wondering what people’s experience of using them on linux has been, particularly nixos
I’m assuming all the drivers are in the kernel given the way the company is
Have been using a 2016 thinkpad for the past year or so and have had a decent experience with it, with the way lenovo have gone with their newer thinkpads it seems like framework is now the best for maintainability/upgradability
(not planning to upgrade in the immediate future as this machine is doing fine, but frameworks are a strong contender in my mind right now and I’m curious as to people’s experience)
Ooh battery upgrades are a good sign, what kinda battery life do you get now with an unupgraded one?
I haven’t evaluated it properly in a while but I’m pretty sure it was under 8 hours with the CPU throttled and the screen brightness low. I am usually just writing or coding on it, nothing too intensive.
Ooooh very promising
What’ve you got it throttled to?
I mean I use it in power saver mode. It goes as low as 400MHz but it’s not fixed at that. 12th gen i7 btw.
Is this on Linux or Windows?
