I would look at Fair phone. I imported one to the US and I love it.
I bought a Fairphone 4 off Clove.co.uk and I live in Canada. After a year and a bit of enjoying that my wife agreed to replace her Pixel 4a with a Fairphone 5.

I just want an electric car that can do exactly this.
Modular components on an option of 3 frames. Reparable to a degree. Bare bones functionality. Physical buttons, no screens. Open source software. Upgrade not the whole car, but components as you go. Literally what video games taught us.
If I had Mark Cuban money, it's the first thing I would do.
The Slate truck looks interesting and is exactly what you describe. Time will tell if it pans out.

It's not quite what I'm saying, but it's a starting point. It also isn't really a thing yet. They're expected to be available in 2027, so with EV incentives being eliminated, the now $27,500 basic model is already 30%+ more expensive before even appearing IRL.

Makes me sad that I know exactly what you mean, this new glass shit has me nervously eying the Linux door.
Linux Desktop has only got better in recent years. I made the switch to Ubuntu ~5 years back and have the opposite problem now - switching back to Windows/macOS can be a buggy pain.
Proprietary apps are still a pain for switching, but helped that most of the main ones (office) have capable web variants.

Why's that? Never used apple devices myself, but I'm under the assumption that redesign is generally favored

Fellow Thunder user?
No, I use Eternity.

Got a Framework 12 and have all sorts of tiny annoying but somewhat manageable problems with it.
It used to overheat and then throttle to 400 Mhz every few seconds on high load. Overheating meaning 100°C. After a long time being annoyed and thinking "did I do something wrong" I reached out to support, and eventually got a new motherboard. It's better since then, but it still gets hot quickly. Also, if I just idle, like maybe a few Browser tabs and that's it, it will get somewhat warm ~65°C and I just don't get it.
For some reason, it sometimes does not find my hard drive on boot. Works the second or third attempt, and is no software problem.
The light detection thing has to be disabled in software to be able to use the brightness buttons.
At the start, my wifi sucked really bad, just on this device.
Having some more ports than just the audio jack and the extension cards would be neat too.
Also, it was really expensive.
So yeah, I sadly wouldn't buy it again, I think. The concept is really neat, but I've had too many annoying little problems. I still do use it as my main computer, and it works reasonably well, is light and well transportable, works with my docking station easily, etc, but those issues are annoying.

I had to double-take because I thought this was their 12th model. But no, they just suck at product versioning, like every other tech company.
