I was hoping to get something this fall. If I could get something this summer, that would be great but I know it would be rushing. If I decide on risc-v, it doesn’t matter. Because I would have to wait however long they make me. 😭

“Protect my privacy” is really my overall philosophy with ANYTHING tech-related. It’s more being extra cautious/paranoid than anything else. The hardware itself supposedly doesn’t track you, but I still don’t 100% trust either side of the duopoly. Better safe than sorry. 😅

Do you recommend side-loading it or use Obtainium?

I was thinking of getting a Framework and setting up Debian (with KDE Plasma), but I’ve always heard Framework is better designed for Fedora/Ubuntu. This gives me confidence! Do you have an Intel or AMD mainboard. I am waiting for the RISC V to come out.
