I bought the first AMD Framework 13 at launch. It just works and I’d buy it again.

To me their software story is compelling. To use the wording of the article, I like that I can be a weirdo running Linux on a laptop and not be a fringe use case. I had no interest in either of their supported distros but their support forums had the necessary hints needed to get a different distro up and running (plugging in newer firmware from the Linux kernel git).

I like that they’ve given some support to the FreeBSD community and I’d like to run that on a future Framework.

I bought a Gen11 framework 13 then later when available I replaced its motherboard by a Gen12.

The old motherboard with the coolermaster case is tucked between two books in my library and is now running my home proxmox.

64GB RAM 4TB NVME 4C/8T 2.5G ethernet and ... 2 Watt idle.

I did run "proxmox in proxmox" with ceph and cloudinit/live migration for a conference I gave on this old motherboard:

I've been eyeing the coolermaster kit. It seems like an interesting way to do a 1l pc.

Can you just plug usbc directly into them without using the expansion things?

The cooling seems to travel 90° corresponding to in the bottom and out the back of a laptop. How do you have it between two books?

The explicit support for Linux is the main reason I bought a Framework (which looked slightly more attractive to me than System76).
