I've pre-ordered a Framework 12 for my wife, because she's irritated with her MacBook Air almost daily. I'll put Linux Mint on it if she goes through with the order, which will make her life easier (and let her play her Steam games). It might even replace the iPad whose battery is starting to die, depending on how good the FW12's battery is while playing video.

The MacBook Air will basically pay for the Framework 12 when we resell it. 🥳



Sollte ich mir einen Framework Laptop 12 kaufen weil er nachhaltig, reparierbar, und toll ist?

Oder sollte ich mir keinen Framework Laptop 12 kaufen weil der Hersteller in den USA sitzt und ich die USA aktuell mit keinem Cent unterstützen will und je nach Windrichtung ggf. sogar die angezahlten 100€ nicht zurückkommen wenn der fiesen Orange ein Furz quer hängt?

Bon, deuxième fois que je casse l'écran de mon ordi #Framework 13 en moins d'un an. Heureusement que c'est facile à réparer... Je me demande à quel point c'est lié à une mauvaise conception, parce que les deux fois c'était en sortant l'ordi de mon sac, sans choc particulier 🤷

Voyons ce que le support me dira !

I'm really simping over the new #Framework12 Laptop with touch screen & stylus.

Currently I use a X220 with 8 GB RAM and transferring drawings and reference images to me old Microsoft Surface via USB.

The X220 is already failing and tbh I feel like my usual strategy of "waiting til there's a second hand market" won't work with this product.

While the .NET Framework is primarily designed for Windows, it is possible to run applications developed with it on Linux using the Mono project. Mono is an open-source implementation of the .NET Framework, allowing you to port and run many .NET applications on Linux, macOS, and other platforms. However, some features, especially those related to Windows-specific APIs, might not function correctly or require adjustments.

Pinta 3.0 was just released. This version just made the minimum requirement of the .NET framework version 8.0.

The .NET Framework is a software framework created by Microsoft for building applications for Windows operating systems. It provides a platform for developing web applications, desktop applications, and other types of software.

For everyone who wants to build #Snap packages on the #DeepComputing #RISCV board for #Framework laptops:

You need to install DeepComputing's #Ubuntu 24.04 image, but its kernel does not support bridge networking, needed by the LXD which #snapcraft uses, so snapping does not work.

A fixed kernel is already available:

launchpad.net/~deepcomputing-c

Just install all *.deb files and reboot.

Thanks, Heinrich Schuchardt (xypron), RISC-V expert at #Canonical!

@frameworkcomputer @zygoon

The #OpenPrinting #CUPS #Snap is now available for #RISCV in the Snap Store!

To build it it just needed to add #riscv64 as supported architecture in the snapcraft.yaml file.

I has taken 2:30 hours (!) to build on my #DeepComputing / #Framework RISC-V board, and the build servers of the Snap Store need the same time to build it.

Thanks to Heinrich Schuchardt (xypron), RISC-V expert at #Canonical, for providing me a kernel which does bridge networking.

What's your TOP reason for getting a Framework 12 inch laptop?

Thanks.

I'm grumpy this afternoon, so lets see if I can focus on #ThreeGoodThings and lighten up a bit:

1. I'm in Act 3 in Baldur's Gate 3 (#bg3), and the story continues to surprise.

2. Relatedly, I love my #Framework laptop. I got tired of Windows enshittification and saw the tariff problems coming last November. Glad I acted then rather than hem and haw.

3. One of the kids has an activity in Duluth, MN this weekend; it'll be a quick trip but I've never been there before.
