I wonder if I'll have to also go custom for my next laptop if I want something with a 15" screen, no numberpad, touchpad with 3 physical buttons, boots to Linux, fully self serviceable or almost so.

I have hopes for Framework but they are still missing at least two of those points. My current laptop is missing the no numberpad point. I had to compromise and that was the least painful one.

With framework there is a good base to work with if you wanted only some components custom
