> If linux power management got a bit better

Honestly this is the thing that holds me back from using not a mac. My MacBook is always at the same battery level when I open it as it was when I closed it. My windows laptop regularly decides to do _something_ overnight and is dead when I try to use it, about once a week.

Microsoft had this shitty idea of "InstantGo" aka "InstantOn" aka "Modern Standby" aka "Connected Standby" (the namings alone give away whose idea it was). They think that people cannot wait the like 1 second when opening a laptop to return from suspend2ram / s3, and they think that laptops should be connected to networks all the time. What for I have no idea, they're not phones after all. So now laptops do not actually sleep anymore, at all. The merely run in a low power profile. The worst is that support for S3 got worse in many bios/uefi implementations, where either it doesn't work properly anymore or it is gone entirely :(

The power management is one of my biggest issues with my Framework 16 but I am hoping it gets better over time with newer linux releases as it has for other laptops I've had.

But the trackpad, the rigidity, the screen wobble, the battery life.

It’s annoying. I wish I could just buy a framework and stop this boring chore. But there’s nothing out there right now.

And, sadly, also the price. I’d also love to get one but when I last needed a new laptop it was about 60% more expensive than the similarly-spaced Zenbook OLED I bought instead.

I wonder if the rigidity could be improved while staying modular, maybe just use many more screws? I don't mind undoing more than 5 screws for the bottom to come off, make it 20 and it's still totally fine.

IIRC from one of their videos, they mentioned that they deliberately use cast aluminium instead of CNC machined like the macbook. If they sacrifice build quality for sustainability deliberately, I don't see how they could compete with Apple.
