The Omarchy/Framework thing

I want to state for the record that I love Framework’s products. They are incredibly friendly to Linux, to Free Software, and to the Right to Repair movement. If their stated mission didn’t so closely align to my own values—and if they weren’t jeopardizing their reputation

@gardiner_bryant The worst part of this whole thing is that they and StarLabs are the only OEMs where Linux is officially supported that are also ODMs, meaning they also design their own laptops. And apart from them and System76, there aren't any good laptops in the US that are Linux first. Slimbook & Tuxedo are a nightmare to import here.

Also, StarLabs has no options for laptops with a dGPU. And System76 isn't perfect either.

It's a real shame, because this is really hurting FOSS & R2R.

@gardiner_bryant Not excusing Nirav though. He should really apologize and stop supporting DHH. And then take a bit of a break from the internet. But I'm getting less and less hopeful about that happening.
