If money was no object I would go all in on open source hardware. Open source everything for me. Sadly I cannot. And so I am still stuck with decades old closed source hardware. But at least I'm running Linux on it.

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.

I've got the S76 Pangolin. It's the best laptop I've ever had, but still lacks on the GPU and upgradability. I had to replace my fan once already too, and it cost over 100$ to get the exact component shipped.
S76 is fine, maybe even good, but my next device will be a Framework for sure.
besides choosing between the 2 great options, I'm like... : C'MON JUST PICK ONE AND SEND IT TO ME XD because they do not make shipments in my country 😥
The big difference is the GPU. S76 is your only good option to get a decent GPU with secure boot and keys signed.
Framework has the 16 coming out this year, with gpu

The modularity thing seems too gimmicky to me. Like the Motorola phones with the same concept. I do think it's a good direction for repairability though.
Do either have a touchpad as good as the ones on macs or xps?
