I’m a huge Framework fan: preordered the 13 and Desktop, have done mainboard + LCD upgrades on personal and work machines, etc. Likewise, I’ve used ARM machines as general-purpose Linux workstations, starting with the PineBook Pro up to my current Radxa Orion. It seems like a great combo!

Unfortunately, firmware and OS support are hard for any vendor, especially one as small (compared to, say, Lenovo or HP) and fast-moving as Framework. Spreading that to yet another ISA and driver ecosystem seems like it would drag down quality and pace of updates on every other system, which IMHO would be a bad trade.
