@fedora Sadly, #Lenovo wronged me as a professional when they refused to support their "#UbuntuCertified" #ThinkPad #P15v's #WWAN module ( #Fibocom #850GL, based on #Intel's #XMM7360 baseband).
Add to that the discontinuation of any #wired - #USB "ThinkPad Compact Keyboard with #UltraNav" and the only reason I've not retired my #X230Tablet for a @frameworkcomputer / #Framework13 or god forbid some #DIY abomination is my belief in #UseLonger!
@kolev depending on your needs, you could probably pick up a
#framework13 fairly cheap and I've seen people repair them from states that wouldn't be worth fixing with other laptops. Also I have a #framework16 and absolutely love it.
@muffelmops sofern es dir nicht um fett Rechenleistung im Sinne von drölfzig VMs geht sondern um etwas was auch im Hörsaal passt würd' ich zu nem @frameworkcomputer #Framework13 oder #Framework16 (ohne dedizierte Grafik!) tendieren, weil das Teil muss im Zweifelsfalle den Tag überstehen und per USB-C kriegste das auch gut nachgeladen...
Assembling my new Framework Laptop 13.
Well, in continuing adventures with the #framework13 7640U, Ubuntu ran fine all day yesterday and since I'm pretty sure it's the kernel, I went ahead and installed Fedora Kinoite (Silverblue w/ KDE instead of Gnome) and going to see if the issues return. If they do, I'll just figure out ways to work around them and then when an update drops that works, pin that so I can rollback to it in the event of a future update gone south.
Framework did see my post on Reddit and has asked me to put in a ticket, and I will likely do so in case this becomes something down the road.
Can I join the #framework13 gang? 😁🤠
Just took me three days to install #archlinux hahah
Whoa. First new personal computer hardware in a long while and it shows. #darktable is _very_ fast on the new framework 13. Enabled opencl via rocm and did have some weird behavior last night, but I've yet to reproduce.
I may actually get through my backlog of edits one of these days :)
Yes, the @frameworkcomputer Laptop has arrived - it's been chilling on my living room table.
But the unboxing? That’s happening tomorrow at the office.
Everyone needs to see this beauty. Sharing is caring, right? 💻✨
after a few frustrating days with the #Mediatek wifi card it's time to toss this 💩🏆
the #AX210 I'm replacing it with just works 😍 this is on #Fedora 42 #Linux kernel 6.14.6
stay away from the #Mediatek one and its #mt7925e driver and firmware 💔
Je suis un tout petit peu impatient de recevoir mon #Framework13 (et un écran de 27 pouces en plus pour bosser), mais la seule information que j'ai sur sa date de livraison, c'est Q2 (soit d'ici fin juin, au pire, voir début juillet avec le temps de transport). 👀
J'espère bien le garder au moins dix ans, celui là, vu l'investissement !
TLDR; Framework 13 laptop coming back from the dead, list of parts/things I want to fix. Specifically screen and keyboard due to modifications creating issues.
Looking forward to reviving my #framework13 back from the dead. I had a Batch 3 11th Gen Intel 1165 mainboard and it was suffering from the USB interference issue, so I quit using it. Which led to the CMOS battery dying and rather than fix that issue, I sold off the last device made by a big corp: Macbook Air M1 base model.
(I still have the iPad Air 5th Gen since it's a tablet I only use for consumption.)
I also have a Samsung Fold 4 for my phone, but at least with that I have more control over it.
I really wanted to go Linux only as much as feasible at home. I have a desktop that runs W11 so I can play #starcitizen and run #winamp as a #podcatcher and media playback of my FLAC files.
So for the time being I'm using a machine that was malfunctioning (Dell Latitude) and funnily enough a BIOS update actually fixed the problem it was having so I decided to stress test it as a daily driver while I worked out how to bring the Framework back from the dead. Shockingly, it's held up in comparison to what it was doing before (keyboard was intermittent, but I'm writing this on that laptop now and not a problem with it.) so after I get the new mainboard I'm going to pull my parts out of the Latitude and get the Framework up and running fully. I only need to get new RAM, going from DDR4 to DDR5, but I'll use this as a good opportunity to also update the WiFi card from the old Intel card (it's so old I can't do faster than 40Mb/s on it, but it worked in monitor mode so at the time I was willing to make that tradeoff) and get into something a bit more current.
Eventually, since it is a Framework, I want to replace some other parts because of choices I made as a modder. Firstly, I modded the original keyboard to Dvorak, and I needed nubs to find the home row. Well, my choice in using Loctite caused damage to the screen (I had let it cure for 24 hours before closing the lid but that wasn't enough) that is superficial, but it's visible and a distraction. So my plan is to get the higher res display especially since it helps with scaling.
Then I want to get the clear ISO (well, I live in the USA, so that might not be entirely wise...) keyboard and have a 3rd party make up a clear sticker set (if he does a see through variant that would let the backlight shine through I'd actually prefer that, but take what you can get) so I can build the Dvorak set without needing to swap around all the keys.
After that, it's mainly just replacing parts of the chassis that has had improvements done like the original hinges, the lid to the CNC version, a new finger printer reader (I dropped it once or twice on the same corner...) and adding 1 USB storage module so I can dual boot between Windows and Linux on distinctly separate disks with a shared partition that they both can handle without issue.
This is why I bought the Framework: I can fix it over time and it may seem like it's going to cost more but in practice I'm saving money by buying only the parts I need to replace. Just don't drop the darn thing and it won't be as expensive to fix! LOL
Hey peeps!
Currently selling my #macbookair on #swappa so I can get a new mainboard for my #framework13 since the old one has kicked the bucket.
The only significant issue is the display, which is working but has some discoloration. Pictures are on the sale page linked below. I am not set on the price but I'm asking for over $100 less than the average asking price (per Swappa) to hopefully move the unit faster. I don't need it, but I want it to go to a good home. Only has 25 cycles on the battery, 100% capacity. All components work, comes with a 45W USB-C charger.
Only request I have is if y'all could boost this, I'd appreciate it.
@frameworkcomputer Any updates on Coreboot support? Heard it was "intended but low on the priority list" but that was years ago if I recall correctly. Would love to get Libreboot (or just Coreboot) working on my fw16. Thank you!

The recent #Framework13 models are too new to work reliability. I wish it was different but I can't recommend them yet.
They're not working out of the box and really just for enthusiasts as of today. It will be a great machine in half a year but for now it's v quirky.
- Suspend doesn't work (ofc)
- WiFi card and driver having issues, have to disable power management, and also network manager power management
- amdgpu driver causes flickering
It's all getting worked on..
Ça a l'air d'être bien la merde de trouver une #dockingStation pas trop chère qui fonctionne pour les #Framework13 avec AMD, non ? 🤔
Das neue #framework13 habe ich so langsam fertig aufgesetzt.
Heute habe ich das Videoschnitt-Programm #kdenlive ausprobiert.
Als Ergebnis hab ich mein Montagevideo von den neuen #schwalbe valve #clik Ventilen auf #peertube gestellt.
I recently switched one of my apps (beekeeper studio) from an appimage to the flatpak due to issues with the new version.
I'm happy that it works, but I noticed that on my highdpi screen on the #framework13 the cursor is TINY when in the app, but full size when outside of it, and in other apps.
I feel like i've seen this issue before with #flatpak and #highdpi #linux
Any ideas to fix, or is this something the app creator needs to fix?
@wild1145 @frameworkcomputer I've had a #framework13 for a couple of years now and I love it. The one problem I have with it is that it needs additional cooling when under any form of load. I'm told that the #Framework16 has the same issue. #Repairable
I tested different linux distros for my new #framework13 .
Xubuntu 24.04 -> didn't work
Lubuntu 24.04 -> worked, but not stable
Ubuntu 24.04 -> worked
Debian 12.0 -> didn't work
Mint 22.1 -> didn't work
Kubuntu 25.04-> worked
I'll choose Kubuntu 25.04.
Like the UI and I use the majority of programms now on my lenovo on xubuntu.
Now I have to find time for setting up the framework13.
