This looks awesome. DHH is really going hard on Apple. He goes hard on everything.1
This is the first time I've seen framework (or forget having seen it). I might give his whole setup a try as a secondary computer.

  1. I really admire that about him and I'm curious where it comes from. Like, what is his conscious experience of it? ↩

@k00b the framework is great. I bought one of the early ones. I think batch 2 or 3. Still use it every day. It is a joy to work on if you like to tinker.

I should add that mine isn't perfect. I haven't used any of the latest ones but their support is excellent. I had some issues with my hinges and the support team was a joy to work with.
Its not a Mac. Mac hardware is better and slicker but also closed and hard to work on. I'm one of those people that has taken apart many Macbook Pros over the years. I decided to switch to Linux in 2021 and this is the machine I bought. I haven't regretted it.
I use a company issued Thinkpad for my day job. The Framework doesn't seem as tough as the Thinkpad. But again, the Thinkpad isn't as easy to work on. It depends on your priorities. When I buy a new laptop the Framework will be the most likely choice for me.

I've nearly pulled the trigger. I'm not sure I'm ready to use it as a daily driver yet, but I like to have a backup laptop.

Yeah I hear ya. Is it switching to Linux or the actual hardware that give you pause?
I have a old Thinkpad as my backup. Bought it on eBay for less than $200. If you just wanna experiment with Linux I think buying a old Thinkpad is a good option.

It's the hardware mostly. I'm fond of my whisper quiet machine with a great trackpad and awesome battery life.

Yeah... battery life on ANY Linux machine I've seen or heard of is no where near M2+ machines. My wife has the new Mac and it has great battery life.
That said, the battery life is good enough for me but it is no where near MacOS.

He got really salty after they disabled PWA on Safari after he was promoting PWA approach for a while.
