Patel hasn’t made any statements towards being a Nazi. Fuck Omarchy, and fuck him for supporting the development of it, but that itself doesn’t make him a Nazi. Framework still makes a damn good laptop, and it has forcefully pushed laptop development in a positive direction. Lenovo sort of did too with Thinkpads, but that’s the closest equivalent that comes to mind, and even that’s a stretch. So, unless there’s someone better out there, I’m still recommending Frameworks to people.
I mean, if you like Nazis, buy a framework.
You’re right, I should buy from Apple instead.

You have the day you buy for, sweetie.

So I assume it’s because of their sponsorship of Omarchy and Hyprland projects?
Yes.
I like it when they get punched. What laptop would you recommend?
You can find laptops sold in your area on Linux Preloaded.
Tuxedo Computers has good ones for Europe as well as Star Labs Systems.
There are many more to explore on there.
I’ve got my eye on the MNT Reform

I’ve been sticking with second hand Thinkpads so far: No ragerts. That chonky thing does look kind of intriguing though.
I mostly like how everything is swappable. And those batteries?! Cell by cell replacement? Love it
Yeah, that is pretty cool. My immediate reaction was, “Damn, that thing is 90s thick!” but then I saw the batteries and was a lot more OK with it.
