I got one of the first batches of the framework 16 with AMD. Easily the best laptop I've come across.

I had some issues with wifi and i2c drivers in linux presumably because the hardware was new and hadn't settled yet. Upgrading the kernel to get new drivers fixed it.

The machine looks and feels great. Good keyboard, good trackpad, good screen. I got 4TB NVMe and 96GB of RAM for cheap because I could install my own. I love that if something fails I can repair it easily myself so I don't have to wait on someone else. I love that I can swap out the ports, I didn't expect that'd be much of a benefit but I use it a lot more than I was expected. I have a handful of different expansion ports in the backpack that I swap out as needed. 8 hours of battery life with active usage.

It feels too good to be true, like if I dreamed up my ideal laptop manufacturer, but then quickly dismissed the idea as too optimistic.
