Framework's new Linux laptop is selling faster than its Windows one

hactually

Incredible news. I've ordered one myself... wish the 16 Pro was out but I figure it makes sense to support companies doing the things you want. The last thread on framework was disappointing in how many said "oh, if it just had X I'd totally buy it" who probably all use Mac's with it's basic configuration.

I mean, I have to imagine the type of people that even know about Framework's products, let alone those that have interest in buying them, are overwhelmingly likely to be the type of people that use Linux, not Windows. Not to pooh-pooh their success! Just my initial reaction to this headline was that it's a bit misleading/silly.

Is framework aiming for mass market breakthrough? if so, I hope they're planning on the macbook neo. I have no reason to recommend it outside of tech-enthusiast circles over a macbook now, thanks to the neo. But I really don't think they want mass market, it wouldn't be a win for anyone. By design, it's a "repairable" computer, so people who want to repair their own laptop are the main customers. You can't repair macs easily, but they last long enough for that to not be an issue. and honestly, the apple care experience is ideal for most people. I do hope then that they stick to the tech-enthusiast market perfecting Linux-friendly laptops. The laptop market hasn't learned from framework's success, so I was hoping at the wake of the neo's success, someone could prove a similar quality laptop is possible by a non-apple company, keeping the competition alive. My biggest concern for them is, one of these bigger laptop makers panic because of losses from the neo, and takes over framework.
