@b The software and distros are fine but the entire platform still lacks a mainstream hardware device that is not only affordable but easy reparability. I say the Framework laptop that got released this year could be it if they keep this up.
@joe I like the concept of the framework laptop, but unless there is a large adoption I feel it will be dead soon after arrival. A few years ago several cell phone makers went the "modular" phone route with swappable parts and they died quickly.
@b Yep, that was a total disaster. I do hope the lesson is learned from that. We'll see. I do like what the Framework offers and it will get better over time. They're doing something good right now that many are afraid to do.
