Rubenerd: FreeBSD and NetBSD laptop feedback: the Framework

About a dozen of you emailed and posted on social media in response to my question about FreeBSD and NetBSD laptops, thanks!

Overwhelmingly the recommendation was the Framework, which I’ve looked at before but completely forgot. Their website doesn’t make it easy to find the display resolution, but other sites report it as 2256×1504, which is excellent.

The FreeBSD wiki has a page about it, and it’d be cool to do some testing on NetBSD to add to their wiki too.

It probably won’t be in the budget for a while, but I’m keen to try. Ping me if you have any experience with running BSD on this laptop, I’d love to hear about your experience.
