Yes. And then now I have my framework. I've upgraded the RAM. I think it came, I think I bought it with like 32 gigabytes. It was like 200 and some dollars to buy 96 gigabytes of RAM like off Amazon. And I could just plop it in. I bought obviously the new display for it. I upgraded the battery capacity in one of them, too.

It came with a 51-watt-hour battery, and they had a newer 61 that gave you another 10% battery. It's like, holy shit, I still have the original one that I mutate. That's really cool. So I fell in love with that Framework laptop. And to me, then, the pair of the two, Framework plus Amacube, that is the Linux version that I had.

tingled and optimized, really felt like this is incredible. So that's where I am right now. I mean, really happy with the Linux setup and just, I don't know if I'm angry or disappointed. I'm just a little like, I kind of wish I knew this like four years ago. Like I should have done this in 2020 when Apple was just like, we're going to break your kneecaps here unless you pay us 30%.

That should have been the signal where it's like, oh shit, why am I still here? Just like it was when the original iBook came out in 2001. I was like, why am I still on Windows? If there is an alternative and it's good enough, I should switch. So, all right. That was, that was, that was. That was a nice one.

It's funny. I'm reading. I don't know if I started it right at the same time. I don't even know if it was an accident or just serendipitous. I'm reading the book, The Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance. I knew that's what you were going to say. And it speaks exactly to that point. It speaks exactly to the point of, do you just want to be a consumer?

I mean, this is a story about riding motorcycles in the 70s and they needed, a fair amount of tender love and care to keep them running. And you needed to know about timing chains and how to oil things and tighten things and whatever.

And in the book, he makes a very compelling argument for exactly what you say, that there is just a satisfaction in the soul of knowing how the things you interact with on a daily basis even depend on work at least at a basic level.

And it is good to know where they are and what the commands are and so forth. But what you come out on the other side as is a more knowledgeable, experienced, comfortable, and confident technologist.
