Framework is teasing a ‘big’ update for August 26th — could it be Framework 16?

  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.

    I’ve had only positive experiences with mine. Also curious about what issues you ran into.

      Yeah, I’ve had one hardware glitch that support sent me a detailed video how to fix by resetting the mainboard within a few hours of writing them, fixed it within 10 minutes. Other than that any issues I’ve had are linux-funkiness, like odd sound profiles on the speakers that I could fix myself, and have been gradually taken care of through updates along the way.

    What exactly are you unhappy about? I'm thinking of getting one soon-ish and would love to hear which negative experiences I could expect to bump into.

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

      You caught me (btw).

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

    Another satisfied Framework user here, wondering what kind of struggles you’ve been facing; I haven’t had any problems at all.

    Have you used one of the Officially-supported distros to check if sleep works, like Fedora 42 or Bazzite?

    source

    • vala@lemmy.dbzer0.com ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

      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.

    First three, and last one sound very Framework related, but I wonder about the others. I know hardware is often way too optimised for windows that Linux has to patch it in a way for Linux, such as your deep sleep issue. Hope it gets fixed.

    Also curious why it’s such a struggle. I want one too so I’d like to know if there are issues with them.

  The announcement states it’s a new product.

  • jupdown@lemmy.ca ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

    Where does it say new product? I read their announcement and get the impression that it’s an update to an existing product:

    “We’ve got one more big update for you, and you can tune into our YouTube channel August 26th at 8am PT to see what it is!”
