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.

@steal_your_face I’ve been running Linux on the #Framework 11th gen Intel version for a few years and it’s been great so far. The aluminum chassis feels quite solid and the battery life is enough to get me through the day most of the time. I’m just waiting for the Batch 1 #Ryzen mainboards to ship so I can tack my Intel board to the basement wall as a media server.

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?

[–] zrb@astrodon.social 4 points 1 year ago

@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.
