    My build is:

    • 12th gen Intel Framework (i5-1240P), with 32GB of RAM and 2TB of storage
      • Opted for the cheapest processor to put more money into RAM and storage, with the intention of swapping out my mainboard at some point in the future
    • Running a mostly stock Fedora 38 install as the OS
      • Main tweak I've made is swapping out Gnome for KDE, due to problems with fractional scaling and wayland, whereas fractional scaling and X on KDE just works
    • Ports are 2 USB-C and 2 USB-A, one of each on each side, with a spare HDMI port I keep in my bag in case I need video out

    Don't really have much in terms of plans for the Framework, other than to keep using it for as long as possible. I wouldn't mind picking up the new larger battery, but I currently get battery life that is more than good enough for my needs. I might pick up one of the new colours of bezels they're releasing once they're available, depending on how they look.

    My experience with it has been pretty great so far, I've only really had two main issues, neither of which are really Framework-specific I don't think

    1. Software support for Wayland is pretty hit or miss. In particular, the main dealbreaker for me was support for Wayland from the JetBrains suite of tools, especially when requiring fractional scaling, is basically non-existent. This is what made me switch to KDE, as KDE's fractional scaling support on X works fantastic out of the box.
    2. Bad network performance. There's something on the go between my Wifi and my Framework where network performance has a tendency to just be absolutely awful. I say I think this is not Framework-specific, because I have two Wifi networks (one from my ISP-provided router, and one from my own equipment), and only one of them has the bad performance. I'll look into it at some point, but for now I just switch networks back to my ISP's network whenever doing something network performance sensitive.
