The Framework laptop is a completely modular, upgradeable laptop that comes pretty close to higher end laptops in terms of performance and "feel". For those of you who have/want a Framework laptop, what does your build look like?

I've got:

11th Gen Framework with Intel i5 (not the most powerful, but I wanted to get something quickly and relatively inexpensively)

Dual booting Ubuntu and Fedora right now since they appear to have the best Linux compatibility and Framework community support

Expansion ports: USB-C on the left and right so I can plug the charger in from a multitude of angles and directions! And I've got a grab bag of MicroSD, standard USB, etc. that can be switched out.

I'll upgrade the system at some point -- unsure of whether I should stick with Intel or move to the new AMD board. I guess I'm not really sure of the benefits of doing so...

What OS are you using? What's your laptop build, and what plans do you have in the future? Have you had any major issues thus far?
