Exploring a New Device - #Frame.work
Yesterday, @nosherwan@fosstodon.org made me aware of a type of computer I was unfamiliar with, the Framework:
A thin, light, high-performance 13.5” notebook that’s designed to last that’s totally upgradeable that respects your right to repair that’s optimized for Linux that respects the planet
He points out:
So https://frame.work sell #laptops upgradable or repairable by users. They also provide great support for linux. Additionally you can attach an egpu with it for good graphics power. Here is a video by Elevated systems that goes into detail by using an egpu with #framework laptop.

I immediately explored the options, and decided this would be my next computer:
Yikes, that price is quite high. But, I’d never have to worry about using it then throwing it away. I could upgrade the components! Wouldn’t that be cool?
But then, I asked nosh, “What about a powerful video card?”
He then said, “Why do you need powerful graphics though. You know you can attach an external gpu inclosure to it with a graphics card if you need it?”
Of course I didn’t know that.
So much to learn. :-)
