What’s your hobby? Football? Yeah I don’t get why you watch that when you could spend an afternoon self-hosting instead…

Accidentally bought a very cheap old Synology thinking it was a dual bay USB hard drive enclosure

• speakers suck
• no touch screen option

Literally just those two things

If they fix those (and keep releasing new updates every year with regular cadence) then I really have a dream laptop option whenever I need an upgrade

Edit: oh also… the framework logo button on the keyboard… it’s an entire keyboard button! In a prominent corner spot. What is it for? Opening the framework website? That’s just dumb. It’s a super prominent keyboard key. Find a proper use for it, or just release a utility to let us customise it as an action button which can do whatever we want. It’s super bizarre. A minor issue - but very bizarre

I use Linux every day inside a VM on windows 11 on a framework. I’d be comfortably happy with linux as main and only operating system but I find this setup works well for a sort of “best of both worlds” type scenario. If you run via hyper-v there is basically no performance loss.

I think windows 11 can be very nice too if you run a debloater (I used windows 10 debloater powershell scripts) and an app like ‘0&0 shut up’ — and yes it would be better if we didn’t have to do that - but we do, and after you do, windows 11 is pretty nice and I have my VM & WSL2 for even nicer work environments
