From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Framework announced the Framework 13 Pro including full Linux support right from the beginning.

Some quick information about the Device:

will use Intel Core Ultra 300 (Panther-Lake)
updated Battery Design with (up to) 20h Battery life
custom designed Display Panel with Touch support (keeping the 3:2 aspect ratio)
LPCAMM2 for upgradable/replacable RAM without compromising on Speed/Low Power of LPDDR5X
milled Aluminium Unibody chassis
Full Linux support right from the start (including Firmware update via LVFS, Fingerprint Reader, etc.)
Haptic Touchpad
and all the repairability features Framework is known for

You can watch their YouTube Video for a quick summary:

I was looking for a new laptop to replace my old Lenovo Yoga 370 and initially disregarded the Framework 13 because of some downsides (low Battery Life, bad Camera, etc.) and was looking to go with one of the following devices:

HP Elitebook X g1a
the new Dell XPS 14
Asus Expertbook PM5 G2

or also a MacBook pro. I am using Linux since more then 10 years and never touched MacOS at all. So I was not sure if MacOS would work for me. But this announcement made it easy: It will be a Framework 13 Pro with Intel X7 358H!

Tbh even if they figure it out (and they should, not everyone is me) I probably won't use it often, I like the extra layer of security having to type my LUKS pass to unlock the FDE then my User pass, just in case. Plus as you noted it starts plenty fast already at under 30sec, it's not a 5min boot like windows on my old laptop.
