I cancelled my Framework Desktop order and ordered a HP Z2 Mini G1a instead, the goal being to replace my Mac Studio as I've had it with Apple's arrogance and lousy software quality. The HP is much smaller, has ECC RAM and 10G Ethernet. Significantly more expensive, however.
Was scoffing at HP, but then you got my attention with ECC RAM. Looks nice as well.
Lack of ECC is what prevents the Framework Desktop from being anything else than an expensive toy.
Do you linux on this ? if so.. does everything work ?
It is also, unfortunately, insanely loud.
Apple have certainly taken a couple steps back re: overall reliability, but if you think that the grass is greener on the other side…pray tell how that goes
Plus, you can now deploy [MLX projects on CUDA](https://github.com/ml-explore/mlx/pull/1983)
