I am considering a purchase as a student although it is really expensive.

What are your major criticisms of the framework laptop?

E.g.

- I have heard that it discharges battery even while powered off (a very serious issue IMO).

Also, I will be using win10/11 and fedora most likely. So any Linux-related issues (e.g. hardware support) I would really like to know.

Thanks for any ideas.

              shits out battery faster in sleep than running
probably is self aware of this fact, since it likes to wake itself up and cook itself in my backpack
gaping security holes, 12th gen already abandoned in terms of bios updates (read: none)
Awful support that reply once every 48 hours, and ask you to repeat things from the last message you sent
keyboard scratches the screen
loud fans
runs hot
framework stans are annoying
expensive
shipping costs take the piss (still)
they expect you to buy new shit (so very sustainable) when they ship broken HDMI and DP ports
many promises made that were never made good on
