Framework is funding KDE to build Linux laptops you can actually customize
Whether you like swapping out hardware or tweaking what apps your PC has, there's a certain joy in having a computer you can truly customize. However, if you want to go all-in on a laptop you can make truly yours, you can do a lot worse than grabbing a Framework laptop and putting Linux on it. Framework builds modular laptops that let you swap parts out as you need them, and Linux hands you the reins on how the software on your device works.
If you think that sounds like a match made in heaven, then you're right; so right, in fact, that Framework has become an official KDE Patron.
