Does anyone know what’s going on at Framework?

One of my friends mentioned Omarchy is great but he said to not use it cause of it’s creator and I only just stumbled onto this trashfire just today.

    If you want open, go MNTRe IMO.

    Oh, and a GmbH instead of US.
    That is now going to be a higher priority for me.

      It’s neat, but not a serious competitor to something like Framework. The MNT laptops are just cool shells around a Rock chip RK3588, which is a quad core ARM (meaning it only has two performance cores, and two efficiency cores). It’s a good competitor in the Raspberry Pi world, but not a serious contender in the x86 one.

      If they somehow release a modern x86 version, RIP framework. Otherwise, I don’t think many existing FW customers will be switching to MNT. (Although there are a lot of other better laptops on the market they could switch to)
