Finally installed the finale OS for my parents #framework12 laptops.
Went with #Fedora #workstation . I was originally planning to install #silverblue , but printing support in flatpaks is too flaky from my tests, and that's one thing they do often. So workstation it is 🤞
sometimes getting randomly logged out of #bluefin on my #framework12
weird.
yes, i bought a #framework12 for my daughter despite them supporting some terrible people

Why? I didn’t think I would buy a Frame.work laptop after the controversy about one of the Framework dude being dumb and sponsoring DHH, who I didn’t know who he was but after I looked him up is a garbage person. However, tablets are even worse. Expensive: iPad Air $18,921 NT, Galaxy Tab $22,080 NT They aren’t expensive in dollars, but they are expensive for how limited they are. You can’t play Steam games on them.
i am 90% happy with my kid's frame.work 12. the fit and finish isn't up to snuff compared to other commercial laptops. blog post will happen...eventually.
Still playing with the Framework 12, now the system is a triple boot, as I installed FydeOS in addition of #popos and #haikuos .
There, tablet mode is working quite well:
* with a virtual keyboard respecting the selected layout in the OS,
* the physical keyboard and touchpad being disabled in tablet mode.
Unfortunately, there is no screen rotation despite the option being active in the settings.
As much as I don’t like chrome, I must admit the system is really nice to use.
Still playing with the Framework 12 laptops.
So yesterday evening, I installed Haiku. Strangely enough I had to install using the beta5 iso, as installing with the 3 latest nightly isos just failed 🤔
However, after the successful installation, upgrading to the latest nightly just worked fine 🤷♀️
The system is installed in UEFI mode in dual boot with Pop OS and using rEFInd as a boot manager.
Now some observation about Haiku on the Framework 12:
* While in the live environment during installation the trackpad works, once Haiku is installed and booted, it does not work 😪
* The WiFi is working contrary to the installation on my Thinkpad T450 😀

This modular, semi #DIY laptop seems really cool. Affordable.
Can assemble it yourself (which seems easy & fun for anyone who has swapped out hard drives or RAM), or buy pre-built.

I'm now about 2 weeks into using my new #Framework12 from @frameworkcomputer running #Linux (which I previously only toyed with way back in the #RedHat days), and every second I'm using this machine I'm enjoying more and more. What an absolute delight.
I've set it up for a long-term project in modest on-the-go security-focused data analysis, which is a purely utilitarian endeavor, but it's also just such a very fun laptop to use. And the benefits of the #framework platform is a huge bonus. 😀
