I rarely have trouble getting parts for laptops, especially batteries.
Then I don't buy consumer models, which are hot garbage.
I have a Lenovo laptop from 2012 that I just replaced a fan in...for $10. Two 2018 Dell laptops I recently replaced the keyboards and batteries, for about $20 each part (and upgraded the keyboards to back-lit too!).
Laptops aren't a great example of right-to-repair issues.
I would happily pay the price for Framework, if not for the extra import duties and shipping fees I would have to pay for it.
Not to forget, that would apply to every replacement part I would need in the future, because it is not available in my country.
Hey, you can always pay someone for extended support!
Th by-pass takes seconds to accomplish. Install normal.
The all or nothing attitude is problematic because it’s still worth using Linux on not so repairable hardware while you write down repairable hardware alternatives to upgrade to in the future.
Only if right to repair progresses. I'm looking right now at my laptop with 2 out of 3 ports broken, a battery which states 30% of health remaining and so on.
I want to buy a framework laptop but they're kinda pricy.
One of Linus Torvald’s biggest scandals.
Latest GNOME and KDE actually look amazing. I personally prefer both over Windows visuals.
