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. :-/
(*) This gave fond memories of assembling tower PC's in the nineties; ISA/PCI slots click, CD-ROM atapi click, hard disk and IDE jumpers easy. But closing the tower case... well that was the hard part!
Installing an OS
The guide says to be patient when booting (powering on) the laptop for the first time, it may take several minutes.
I timed it, it took 57 seconds to get to this screen:
And now there is this; it has been a long time since I saw a default XFCE, Firefox and terminal.
Let the fun begin!
