The "podman generate systemd" command from the article is deprecated. The alternative are Podman Quadlets, which are similar to (docker-)compose.yaml, but defined in systemd unit files.
With almost no documentation, mind

I think you're thinking of consumer devices, not industrial.
> Inertia.
I think that's a tough case to make. Windows offers legitimate technical advantages for gaming and game development. Integration with large vendors' tooling like NVIDIA and AMD is pretty huge. There are real workflow benefits.
> Windows-based software itself is developed on Windows.
You know more about this than I do. That sounds kind of wild to me, like it could be a pretty awful work flow at times for no good reason. It looks like you don't have access to native debugging tools and Wine itself introduces potential compatibility risks. I would rather just develop on target, personally
>Integration with large vendors' tooling like NVIDIA and AMD is pretty huge.
This is a product of inertia. If Windows didn't have inertia it wouldn't have ecosystem advantages, it's not inherent to Windows itself

The story is a lot more enjoyable in conference talk form than written form imo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lijyQ_HAysA

Our company bought about 4-5 Framework 13s, and boy were they a bad experience. All sorts of driver issues, random crashes, USB ports not working right, etc.
Just about all of them had some kind of issue, which is really fun when your PM has a USB port not work randomly.
Ended up going back to HP laptops, 30% cheaper for the same specs and they just work consistently.
Would love to hear a hobbyist perspective, Frameworks are not a good choice for a business but I would be interested to hear if the replaceable parts / ports provided value for someone. My gut feeling is that something that can't be replaced easily in the Frameworks will die and it'll just end up being cheaper to replace the whole laptop.
The replaceable parts definitely add value as someone who's had one for 4 years now or something like that. It's probably got more new parts than old, some for performance improvements, others for damage because I'm not especially gentle.
I don't really think it's tremendous value if you're purely talking about laptop per dollar. I probably could've bought two similarly performant laptops for the amount I've spent on the Framework over the years, maybe two and a half. But it is incredible peace of mind to know that the same machine I already have will keep working even if some part of it breaks, I don't have to worry about reinstalling or losing anything or losing the stickers I have on the thing or whatever else. The old mainboard I upgraded from is now a home server with a nice 3D printed case. There's way less e-waste, one thing going wrong doesn't make the whole device a brick. And there is just a genuinely enjoyable novelty to how easy it is to take apart.
It's a hobbyist device through and through. It's for people who like using desktop Linux, because they feel empowered by being able to fix their problems, with the occasional side effect that sometimes they'll have to.

Am I the only one who thinks it's foolish not to have a darker color option? Or something more professional? These all remind me of kindergarten.
it's explicitly designed for younger people, they'd say Framework Laptop 13 is what you're describing

I actually remember using Perforce back in like 2010 or something. And I can't remember why or for which client or employer. I just remember it was stupid.
There's still a lot of Perforce around. I've thankfully managed to avoid it but I have plenty of friends in the industry who still have to use it.
All of my devices are lightening. Now I have to carry around 2 cables.
There's simply more people with the opposite problem, especially in markets where Apple is less prevalent, which is most of them around the world. When there's more than one type of cable, plenty of people are going to be inconvenienced when one is chosen as the cable to rule them all, but in the end everyone wins, it's just annoying to get there.

> and even AI chat bot interactions in recent version.
If you have that, you don't need the other things.
One task a language model is naturally suited to is... using language.
(You might want to give the bot a voice, or I guess you'll still need the listening exercises, depending on your goals.)
There's AI slop (or hastily human generated slop, hard to tell) in Duolingo so I won't advocate for its quality, but I've been trying to use several different flagship models for language learning (with a native speaker on speeddial to fact check things) and they get stuff wrong a lot. LLMs are absolutely not ready to be your sole source for language learning. They seem perfectly competent at communicating in whatever language you want, and are fine at translation, but for example, explaining grammatical concepts of one language in another language they have been surprisingly incompetent at in my experience.

"An attacker COULD if the stars align right EXPLOIT ..."
I'm too tired of the current scareware industry to write more.
The sad part is real security issues can get lost in the noise...
The issue is that understanding what is actually exploitable and what is actually a part of your threat model is difficult, it's a pretty high bar, a bar not met by most people that typically have decision making power around a product or service. It's a huge problem but it's not particularly easy to fix so it's pretty obvious why the industry has taken the route of deciding certifications and scans = security and that vulnerabilities only exist if they have a CVE assigned, and anything with a CVE assigned must be an actual problem.
