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.

FW 12 DIY edition (so Intel), running Ubuntu 20.04.

Battery life is a bit underwhelming, and so are the hinges.

One thing that is annoying is that the trackpad sometimes fails to work, when opening the laptop, but it also seems to relate to having high load and poor wifi connectivity (?)
