Framework Computer is a US-based computer manufacturer with a line of Linux-supported, modular, easily repairable and upgradeable laptops. In February, the company announced a new model, the Framework Laptop 12, an "entry-level" 12.2-inch convertible notebook that can be used as a laptop or tablet. The systems were made available for pre-order in April, I received mine in mid-August. Since then, I have been putting it through its paces with Debian 13 ("trixie") and Fedora Linux 42. It's a good choice for users who want a Linux-friendly, lightweight, 2-in-1 device—if they are willing to make a few concessions on storage capacity, RAM, and CPU/GPU choices.

Security updates have been issued by Debian (chromium, libhtp, modsecurity-apache, shibboleth-sp, and wireless-regdb), Fedora (chromium, kea, tcpreplay, and yq), Mageia (rootcerts, nspr, nss & firefox and thunderbird), Red Hat (python3), and SUSE (7zip, chromedriver, go1.25, libQt5Pdf5, libsixel-bash-completion, libsoup2, libwireshark18, netty, rav1e, and trivy).

MocaccinoOS is offered in several variants, including live images with GNOME, KDE Plasma, MATE and Xfce desktops, as well as command-line-only "Minimal Desktop" edition.
