Haha this is one of the thing I wanted to know about the framework, thanks for the feedback. All of my laptops were still running fine when they became unusable because of the broken plastic structure around the hinges. I managed to fix that on this one using small bolts. I was eyeing towards Framework for my next laptop after this one falls apart wondering how durable it could be. Maybe I'll still buy that if they ever allow us to buy just the plastic case but I am seriously considering the sturdiness of a M1 running Linux. I may have to start to donate to Asahi Linux now as MacOs is a big nono. Or maybe I can find an old intel MPB that runs Linux well ?

Framework has said they are going to release new hinges that are sturdier, and they are extremely easy to swap out. The benefit of the Framework is that any kinks can be easily fixed... still kinks are annoying.
