    Even if I could afford ram, that doesn’t even mean I can afford a framework laptop. I’ve looked at them every time I’ve thought about buying a laptop, but they’re just so damn expensive and I already have a perfectly good desktop.

      I hear you. My philosophy changed about 20years ago when Apple switched to Intel:

      Mac laptops are expensive, but I regularly get 4-6 years from them without too much drama if I simply max out the ram when I buy them.

      My thinking of my eventual move to Linux full time, a Framework or System76 machine costs similar to a Mac, and use the same Max ram philosophy.

      I just wish the build quality was just a bit better for the price, but I’m willing to trade a little for user serviceability…

        My problem with apple is that they’re a shitty anti-consumer company, so i won’t ever buy anything from them. (I also just really dislike macos. have to use it for work now and jesus it is awful)
