Love my 11th gen framework, but there is an issue with the 11th gens where the CMOS battery will die rather quickly. If it does die then the laptop needs to be plugged in to turn on, even if it is fully charged. Framework is aware of the issue and will send a free replacement battery or, if you can solder, a mod that will eliminate the issue for good.

Still love framework and would definitely recommend them - but the 11th gen line (their first product) has a few gotchas

I was looking into this last night, what's the current Dev status of termux? I saw the last release is from 2022 and there's a call for more maintaiers.

I've been using Addy for years and it's been great. I believe I'm on the lite plan and have never (to my knowledge) hit any limits. Definitely recommend.

There's also a setting for minimum spacing between parts. The default is overly cautious iirc, I'd suggest lowering it and trying again, though I don't expect it to change much

Oh it hurts real bad

Its not as energy dense, overall battery life will be worse. The battery won't degrade as fast overtime, so the battery will keep more total capacity over the years, as compared to a lithium ion battery that would have noticeably less battery after a few years of use.

I'll start this by saying I'm not familiar with either model, but as a general rule, always go x86 when you can. The Intel processor is going to be much better supported. You might get the snapdragon version to run, but it likely isn't supported by mainline Linux.

That being said, touch screen support on Linux is improving rapidly, but still isn't quite there. Make sure you're aware of the user experience before buying so you won't be disappointed.

Also, my unsolicited 2 cents, I would try to avoid buying lenovo. I've had the unfortunate responsibility of fixing a few of their products (an all-in-one and a few laptops, including a new thinkpad) and can confidently say their reliability, and repairability have greatly diminished. They use cheap parts and are in general, poorly designed.

Onshape hands down. Browser based so there's no compatibility issues. It's super easy to use and pretty powerful. Its free for hobbiests (the caveat being your models will be publically accessible). We use it exclusively at work and it's been awesome.

I'd love a good Foss CAD package but there are too many issues with the current ones for me to make the jump.
