Framework tease new hardware and something big for Linux too

Framework's "[Next Gen] Event" is coming on April 21 where we expect new hardware announcements, and it looks like something big for Linux too.

In their full blog post they go over how the industry is changing, like even Apple becoming more repairable with their latest hardware release. And then they go on to talk about the struggles with RAM, storage and everything else being sucked up by AI companies causing rising prices along with the shift from ownership to subscription and how the industry is "asking you to own nothing and be happy".

Framework are doubling-down on ownership and giving you what you want, as they said in the post:

You might be reading all of this and thinking, is this a farewell letter to personal computing? Is this the end of Framework? No, this is a manifesto. No matter how inevitable the AI-takes-all scenario may sound, as long as there is a person in the world who still wants to own their means of computation, we will be here to build the hardware that enables it. That means computers that you can own at the deepest level and do what you want with, whether that is choosing your OS, modifying your hardware, or even just keeping your data and computation local rather than leased from the cloud. We won’t get there all at once, but we will always be fighting for a future where you can own everything and be free.

What makes it quite a lot more exciting is that they're teasing something big for Linux. They've released two YouTube shorts teasing Linux. One of which shown below is named "Follow the white penguin.". It shows off the clear Linux Tux logo along with flashes of a few different Linux distribution logos including Ubuntu, Fedora, Arch, CachyOS and Bazzite:

Additionally, their teaser event page has an animated Linux Tux logo on it too:

I'll be keeping an eye out on April 21st to let you know what's announced. What do you think it will be? Leave a comment and let us know.

You'll be able to watch the event live on their YouTube on April 21st at 10:30am PT / 5:30pm UTC.
