System76 or Framework laptop?

Look, we know System76 laptops are based as fuck. I mean, Coreboot, Open source firmware, PopOS, and a fucking open source mobo in the works, just so fucking based.

But man, these framework laptops look cool too. Completely modular and easy to work on. Looks like the company has proved it isn't going to go under anytime soon.

I'm debating what to get once I feel like upgrading from the trusty ol ThinkPad. What would you buy?

System76 are rebranded tuxedos

I own one (from tuxedo) and can say it is a bomb. Pretty spec'd out from 5 years ago still working great

Source? As far as I know tuxedos are rebranded tongfang. https://www.reddit.com/r/AMDLaptops/comments/hzlcjo/all_of_the_vendors_that_are_offering_the_tongfang/

It is the bomb, or a bomb? In the latter case, I'm sure homeland security would be getting pretty antsy.
