I love my framework. I've also got a DIY edition 11th gen, i5, really hoping for the news that AMD is on the near ish horizon but understand the difficulties.

I have run successfully arch, and now fedora 36 for most of my work and the machine is just great. Hell I am typing this post on it.

I find the ability to swap cards and for the ports is quite handy, I regularly carry hdmi, displayport, extra usb a and c, sd card and I just purchased and am awaiting the arrival of a 1 TB extension, primarily to hold all the many vms I use on a regular basis.

Might be a bit much but I bought a d-brand skin for it too, I didn't want the wrist rests to get all scuffed like on most of my other laptops so that should help.

Really looking forward to having this thing for many years. Fingers crossed for that AMD upgrade. And the ethernet card/dongle soon.

Well, the great thing about the Framework is if you scuff up the wrist rests, you can probably order a new chassis.
