I can’t believe some of the points Linus made against the Fairphone, especially given he’s onboard with the same compromises for the Framework laptop. 🤭

    Poor in comparison to what though? I know what the benchmarks say but I don’t really notice any differences between the Fairphone 5 (what I’m currently typing on) or my previous phones (Huawei Mate 10, Zenfone 6, Zenfone 8 Flip) in terms of daily driving (aside from battery maybe). I’m sure there is for gaming, but that’s the one thing I don’t use my phone for.

      I haven’t used it personally but apparently it’s general usage is pretty slow.

        All I can say is that has not been my experience and I am curious what exactly people think is slow about it.

        I could be entirely wrong, but it seems like some people are conflating benchmarks against current flagships as the day to day experience.
