Well this is one of the worst takes I’ve seen around here 🤣

Not sure where you’re getting this from. The value comes from buying a known Linux compatible platform at a similar price point to any other manufacturer. The Desktop is the first AMD Ryzen Max+ platform on the market in that form factor, and those chips are well above the performance of any other Ryzen chip on the market. Fair price as well.

This comment is disingenuous at best, and just wrong overall. They were slow on their firmware updates during their initial pilot shipments while the platform was still in validation, so they were making delayed changes to firmware in light of that until they cleared that hurdle. Been regular updates since. Also, firmware rarely decides the overall security of a hardware platforms unless known vulnerable portions are found and then intentionally NOT fixed, which is not what happened with all of that.

Absolutely wrong. The price point is the same as any other machine in the same segment, which is not the general consumer crap Lenovo kicks out, but the slightly elevated professional segment. If you’re not looking for that in a new device, guess what, they have refurbs at have the price. Both conditionals right there completely invalidate whatever point you’re trying to make, especially when you’re buying for the stability on Linux as OP mentioned, and it’s a crapshoot at best with any other manufacturer in their cheaper segments of machines.
I don’t know if you’re shilling for some specific point here, but you need to get informed.
Sure seems like they just released one last month: https://knowledgebase.frame.work/bios-and-drivers-downloads-rJ3PaCexh
