  • Yeah I ran fedora for a while when I first got this since that’s one of the official distros but it seems like it would really just be a function of the kernel itself and the laptop firmware.

    Going back to fedora does not enable deep sleep by default and I’m way too afraid to manually switch it again after having to pull the battery 5 times already in pursuit of a solution.

    I’ve been told this just doesn’t/can’t work.

    So basically unless someone can say “I experienced the same exact problem and here’s how I fixed it” I’m just too afraid to try again haha.

    Framework advises not to pull the battery and they are not wrong in that advisement. It’s sketchy as hell.

    When I enable deep sleep it prevents me from even accessing bios, so I can’t do the firmware battery disconnect at that point.








  • 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).











  • Ok buddy, downvote whatever you want and get as tilted as you want but it’s not going to change the fact that most Lemmy users don’t give a shit about playing corporate slop games from EA.

    It seems like it upsets you that we’re all happy with the games we can run on Linux. Which is a weird thing to be upset about unless you deep down just resent the fact that we are cooler than you (I use arch btw).

    You have very strong Reddit energy which is catching me off guard. Very strange to see someone defending microsoft/ea on the fediverse. Stranger yet to see someone basically rage commenting about it haha.
