Using my framework laptop feels like a never ending struggle sometimes but I really like the idea of modular, repairable laptops so here I am.

Edit: I have the FW13 12th gen intel

  • The screen has a very slow pixel response time, the ghosting is absolutely real
  • The screen is wobbly when I type (fixable with upgraded hinges)
  • The track pad is constantly dropping inputs
  • The screen resolution is generally awkward and fractional scaling is still hit or miss on Linux
  • Updating to the latest firmware (BIOS) required me to install WINDOWS (just for the update)
  • For some reason switching to Linux kernel deep sleep mode causes a total system failure that can only be recovered by physically removing the battery and CMOS.
  • Physically removing the battery is sketchy

FWIW this is still my daily driver but I do sometimes consider seeing if anyone wants to trade for a ThinkPad haha

Edit 2: If anyone has insight on the deep sleep issue I'm all eyes (biblically accurate angel mode).

Bring in some insight on your struggles! You using Arch on it?

[–] vala@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

You caught me (btw).

I've also ran fedora which is an officially support OS.

I like Fedora but I need some AUR wine applications and shadowsocks to smooth things out in Mainland China (am expat). Fedora cannot offer all of these easily, I'm not too well trained in building packages (I know it's simple lol)

AUR is super cool (when it's not getting DDOSed).

Building packages from scratch isn't that hard usually but it can be and AUR really does simplify that.
