I don’t really need a gaming laptop so was considering the framework 13. If anyone has any experience with it please share! Bonus points for any details of using Linux on it and/or the AMD version.

    I just realized that no one has the ryzen boards until q4 of this year 🤦‍♂️

    How do you like the laptop overall? Is it pretty portable? Which distro are you using?

      I’m in the exact same boat as @zrb@astrodon.social except I’ve been running pop!_OS and I’m Ryzen batch 4. I love everything about the framework, and looking forward to expected better battery with Ryzen. I’m glad they switched to the matte displays, that was a negative but I put a film on and that’s been great.

          I like Pop on it quite a bit. There are some easy guides to get the fingerprint sensor working but everything else works out of the box. Linux in general needs a few tweaks (via tlp) to get better sleep states. I am looking forward to Ryzen though, I have pretty high hopes for it!

      @steal_your_face yeah it’s exceedingly portable and surprisingly light, but I think my favorite thing about the hardware is the 3:2 aspect ratio, especially for writing.

      I’ve mostly been on #EndeavourOS for the past few years.
