Mijn nieuwe Framework 16 laptop heeft bijna z'n reis rond de wereld beëindigd.

België lijkt de volgende logische stap maar je weet maar nooit in dit dorp dat de wereld is.

#Framework
#framework16

I have a #Framework16 with #Manjaro and repeatedly have a peculiar situation:
- The mouse pointer can still move
- Any media is still running (audio can be heard)
- all screens freeze, no Interaction of any kind is possible.
- Going in via SSH, I can see no obvious issues in dmesg or Journalctl.

Can ANYBODY point me to at least a way to debug this? It's mildly annoying that I have to always fear to loose work due to my laptop freezing like that.

The Framework 16 laptop detects when it's booted partially assembled. It boots into a special mode to walk you through completing the assembly. The screen updates to reflect your progress and prompt the next step. This requires no tools to complete. Impressive! Watch:

Hey @frameworkcomputer, are the AMD Framework laptops vulnerable to the recent AMD speculative execution vulnerabilities? See: https://www.amd.com/en/resources/product-security/bulletin/amd-sb-7029.html

If the Framework 16 is impacted, do you all have a timeframe for publishing a new UEFI firmware update? This page currently shows version 3.05, which was released before this AMD security announcement: https://knowledgebase.frame.work/en_us/framework-laptop-16-bios-and-driver-releases-BkeqkVovp

Ich hab heute mal meine #Arch Festplatte wieder ins #FrameWork16 gepackt und kurz mal 800 Updates über mich ergehen lassen. Läuft aber direkt wieder fluffig.

Wtf today my #Framework16 simply froze its graphics. It does so two times. The first time I can get it unstuck by changing to a TTY with Ctrl+Alt+F2 and then back, but the second time I can only reboot. Sound and Mousepointer are still working, but I can't click anything and videos are not updating any longer. WTF is going on here?

oh joy, another problem with my Framework 16. this time a very strange keyboard quirk.

For whatever reason, all of a sudden when I try to "ctrl+g" (or ctrl-h, or ctrl+e), the ctrl key gets released the instant I press "g" even though I'm still holding down ctrl.

it only happens with (at least) g, h, or e. other keys don't cause ctrl to incorrectly release.

it still happens when I boot to a different, live USB distro, so it's not my OS.

at first I thought maybe QMK/VIA was somehow at fault, but I can't see any reason why any of my layers would interfere in such a strange way.

no idea if this is a hardware issue or a firmware issue, but if I swap my fn and ctrl keys, the newly mapped ctrl key doesn't have this problem anymore

seems like a defective keyboard. and since framework only sells their computers with 1 year of warranty I'm sure the only option they will give me at this point is for me to pay for a new keyboard out of my own pocket.

ok so today I will replace the liquid metal cooling of my #framework16 with a PTM7958 Thermal Pad cooling. The bad thing: the guide on how to do this has THIRTHY-NINE STEPS to install the thing on the photo
The good thing: There IS a guide and only a single tool required to perform it. Still love the concept, even though I have performance issues (which hopefully should be partially solved with this *free* upgrade)

Are Here #framework users which can recommend dockingstations which allow you to start a #framework16 laptop by pushing a button on the dockingstation? #frameworklaptop
Or can @frameworkcomputer directly recommend one?

I was extremely disappointed that even after several different attempts and experiments to get it working, I just couldn’t get Blender to use my AMD GPU on my #framework16 in Ubuntu.

It was an absolutely miserable experience. That and the fact that in Ubuntu even going through configuration command line stuff I could not get the touchpad to not scroll wildly when using two-finger gestures.

Ubuntu just is not ready to be a Windows replacement yet for anyone who doesn’t have a Computer Science degree. I still hope it will be better and more successful in the near future - very much like how things worked with Blender itself. (In the mid-2000s I swore to myself I’d never ever use Blender again.)

Giving #SwayWM a try on my #Framework16 running #HardenedBSD 14-STABLE.

Looking for an USB-C #dockingstation, which works with my #framework16 Laptop, running Debian. Need Ethernet-Port and DisplayPort, Cardreader would be nice, Powersupply not necessary.

Can you share your experience?

Suche eine USB-C_Dockingstation für meinen Framework 16 mit Debian. Notwendig ist LAN und DisplayPort, nett ein Kartenleser, nicht nötig die Stromversorgung. Wer hat Erfahrung?

Please retröt.

Anyone here who uses the #Framework16 laptop? Do you recommend it as a work laptop? Are there any downsides? How's Linux on that thing?

Puh, erster Linux-Rechner (Ubuntu 24.04 LTS ... bin mal sehr gespannt.
Und das Num-Pad habe ich links angesteckt)

(Das alte Surface Pro gibt es als Backup).

Is there anyone here with a #Framework16 running linux that can run my thermal performance benchmark script from https://www.djgummikuh.de/2025/01/05/cpu-performance-tests/ and send me the results? I'd like to know if I am maybe chasing a rabbit here and the difference in thermal performance of the cores stems from the positioning of the thermal probe...

Edit: Would have to be the Ryzen 7 7840HS variant for it to be comparable
