Look, we know System76 laptops are based as fuck. I mean, Coreboot, Open source firmware, PopOS, and a fucking open source mobo in the works, just so fucking based.

But man, these framework laptops look cool too. Completely modular and easy to work on. Looks like the company has proved it isn’t going to go under anytime soon.

I’m debating what to get once I feel like upgrading from the trusty ol ThinkPad. What would you buy?

Virgo by System 76 is already designed for board-level repairs. All the schematics is already available, and will be found on their website when ready for production:

Actually Soller said, that they will release everything needed to start your own production line. Has Framework released the schematics yet?

Yeah there are schematics from framework, I don’t think they are full though. But last thing I heard was from a while ago, so they may be more complete nowadays.

Here is an old video of Rossman talking about it https://youtu.be/8cJj8PUY0DU

Here is an alternative Piped link(s): https://piped.video/8cJj8PUY0DU

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.

I’m open-source, check me out at GitHub.

I didn’t know that. Perhaps I need to research a little more before commenting.

Thanks!

Linux

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.
