hi,

pretty much the subject… I am trying to choose my next laptop and I am tempted to buy a framework 13 AMD. I saw this post from one year ago : https://www.phoronix.com/review/framework-13-amd

and while the review is impressive, comments are not. how things have evolved since then? any experience?

EDIT: you convinced me, I just ordered mine. Thanks for the incredible answers !
NEW EDIT: I use arch (btw), and Gnome. For the answers, I do not think this will pose a problem but… what do you think?
(and yes, I ordered mine before reading last comment of paequ2 who doesn’t like it… for reasonable reasons, maybe. I hope I will have more luck ;) )

    I’ve found linux support to be stupendous. I am running fedora silverblue and I can’t think of anything that didn’t work out of the box.

    Even the fingerprint sensor!!!

    Framework has really great forums and pages dedicated to linux. I even get firmware updates through ufw no problem.

    Great build quality, amazing repairability, performance for the price is pretty decent. The keyboard is even pretty good.

    It’s probably one of my favorite laptops I’ve ever used.
