    @thelinuxexperiment Knowing the state of opensource. Knowing the number of packages in the AUR.Do you really think reviewers can review all updated packages ?

    I feel framework is going a bit down the lane of every other company which needs to stay on the market...new laptops, fewer compatibility. Sure stull lightyears better than Apple, but still I wish they would push the concept even further.

    @thelinuxexperiment Seems to me like the basic concept of the AUR, as much as I've loved it in the past, is fundamentally incompatible with reasonable security.I mean, if you allow anyone to upload and anyone to install then ultimately it's going to be impractical to check the code for bad stuff in any manual way. That leaves automated scanning, which will always have loopholes.

    Framework still refuse to treat Linux based Operating Systems as First class Operating Systems. So I will never even consider them until they do. If they were really serious about supporting Linux based Operating Systems they could quite easily offer their systems with Ubuntu pre-installed. Other vendors, who seriously support Linux, have no problem providing at least 1 Linux based Operating System preinstalled. Many will pre-install the Linux OS of your choice. So using 'choice' as an excuse for not supporting Linux OSs is simply bullshit.

    @tracy_anne they do!? You just have to select Pre-built, instead of DIY. And even for DIY they explicitly mention Linux support.At least on the German/EU site.

    Image showing Framework Laptop 13 Pro Store page, Featuring Ubuntu or Windows pre-installed. Ubunut is a Linux distribution.

    @nickneumann@muenchen.social Prebuilt is Windows only. You cannot get prebuilt with any Linux pre installed.It is obvious they do not consider any Linux based OS as anything but a DIY projectThey are not treating Linux based OSs in the same way as they treat Windows, as a First Class Professional Operating System.That is the reason I won't buy a Framework, it is irrelevent that I can buy the DIY and build it myself, and install what ever OS I choose on it. The fact remains, if I choose not to build it myself, or for some other reason require it to be pre built, my only option is to buy it with Windows.It is why I purchased my new computer from Slimbook, in Spain, and had it shipped to Australia.. It came with Manjaro KDE Plasma pre installed. Which I then reinstalled over, to replace the default btrfs with ext4, and my preferred partitioning scheme.

    @tracy_anne havent you seen the screenshot?๐Ÿค”I could buy a PRE-BUILD one with Ubuntu right now(Intel only not AMD).I mean it isnt perfect and I agree, more Linux and FOSS support is always better, but still one can buy pre-build with Linux, for the Intel version of their latest Laptop(13 pro)...

    @nickneumann@muenchen.social I've been to the website and checked. No pre built Linux, windows only.

    @tracy_anne for me it shows up, see screenshot: muenchen.social/@nickneumann/1@frameworkcomputer are Linux pre-build systems region locked to Europe or do you ship them world wide?
