What a disaster this is, the DIY framework laptop.
The box...
...contains more boxes.
The parts are few...
...so the laptop is assembled in less than a minute?!
Unpacking the thing took longer than assembling it!
Reading this webpage took longer than assembling it!
Installing the DDR5 memory took 1 second: click and done.
Installing the nvme took 3 seconds: unscrew one screw, click and screw.
Installing the bezel was far more challenging, took almost 30 seconds! (*)
Attaching the keyboard: about three seconds?
Installing the four modules: 1 second per module (or less?)
I'm not that good at irony, but I was hoping for at least 20 minutes of fun assembling this thing... and only got one minute. :-/

And now there is this; it has been a long time since I saw a default XFCE, Firefox and terminal.
Let the fun begin!
