With the Linux Vendor Firmware Service serving more than 135 million downloads for Linux users updating their system and device firmware, LVFS has been working to get more hardware vendors to contribute either engineering resources or directly contributing annual dues as sponsors. Framework Computer is now the first one to have executed an agreement under these new sponsorship efforts.

Red Hat in employing lead developer Richard Hughes has contributed the most to LVFS/Fwupd's success, the Linux Foundation has also hosted the project since it has shifted into their umbrella, AMD's Mario Limonciello is among the significant contributors, and now Framework Computer is a new sponsor to the project.

Just get a Thinkpad or build a desktop lol. Who said anything about cutting off our noses?

It's a well-known figure of speech.

I know? They were speaking metaphorically and so was I?

Why are their question marks at the end of your sentences? Are you posing those questions to me? Are you trying to illustrate some sort of vocal inflection? If so, then that's even more confusing.

Thinkpads are more expensive and far far less user serviceable

A framework alternative like novacustom would be better
