Laptop companies: which one?

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

And the company has been ultra-transparent about any issues so far.
Also all the spare parts are available straight from Framework and especially the consumables are cheo.
So far this is really what makes me leaning toward Framework. But you know, when something seems too good to be true... If Framework is as perfect as it seems to be I can't wait for the need of a new laptop :D
It's terrible because it's great and I just can't shake the feeling that there's an investor lurking somewhere, waiting for the right moment to jack up the profit margins, fucking up an extremely nice thing. If Framework ever goes public, that'll probably be the beginning of it getting worse.
That would be another terrible story about a great idea turning into BS for profit only. Fingers crossed that it won't happen.
