Yea I got a FW a few years ago and regret it. For just a few hundred $$$ more I could've gotten an M1.

The battery situation makes me never use it. Compare to a macbook when I can just close it and open it up weeks later and it just turns on with plenty of charge still left.

Every time I need to use the FW i need to plug it in first or charge it if I want to take it somewhere. Defeats the point of a portable computing device

When I travel with it, i need to make sure I shut it down and not just close the lid, or it discharges and cooks my backpack

Everything else is fine though

Protip: Make sure hibernation works then enable suspend-then-hibernate in logind.conf
I got the FW when I was between jobs so I had a bunch of time to tinker with it and mess around with Linux configs. Now I have a baby and a job so unfortunately my desire to tinker with config is pretty much 0 at this point
Making hibernation work on Linux is the pain. Is it even possible on the Framework?
