My #FrameworkLaptop arrived! (A few days before it was scheduled to!)

I apparently ordered the "DIY" version, which I'd forgotten, but the DIY part was just sliding in the SSD and RAM, and was trivially easy.

For a laptop this thing is an absolute DREAM!

Installing #Windows turned out to require a Windows machine (mine's broken; that's why I bought this one!) and a USB key, but turns out my son had both conveniently to hand).

All going great so far! Hid #Edge away and installed #Chrome, now updating various "drivers".

Extremely funny to see "c:\Windows\system32" in the header of the little shell the drivers installs pop up.

More like System64, amIrite?

#FrameworkLaptop doings are going well; driver bundle installed great and keyboard and touchpad are behaving.

#SecondLife (well, the #Firestorm viewer) worked fine in a quick test, two-monitor support seamless, plugging in the Ethernet works. WoW is downloading at like 12MB/s, so we'll be able to test that eventually. :)

The "WhatsApp" "App" for "Windows" seems to have crashed hard enough that I can't run it again, but really that's #Windows for ya.

I see no one has fixed the old familiar "launching #WoW has no apparent effect, but does lead to a whole shedload of running #Windows Battle.net tasks" situation.

Nice that some things never change.

Now #Wow is working!

Coulda sworn all those #DragonAspects became mortal an expansion or two ago. But here they are again! I expect I'll eventually stumble on the relevant #lore...
