From my perspective using a 12th gen on Fedora 36, which is allegedly the best supported Linux flavor (although Windows on the Framework doesn't have many of these issues so I'm considering installing it instead):
* Horrific battery life. I don't actually mind that the battery life under light usage is in the 6-7 hours neighborhood. What I do mind is that the battery life when the laptop isn't being used is abysmal. When I shut the lid, I lose 20% of the battery every day. Since I got the Framework to supplement a desktop, that really isn't acceptable. Fedora 36 doesn't do hibernate out of the box, but on OSes where that's doable battery life while inactive should be better
* The trackpad scrolling is annoyingly fast, and I haven't found a way to change it (on my mac I can just change the scroll speed under mouse settings, but Fedora doesn't expose that option)
* Speaking of the settings app, the settings app FREQUENTLY causes the laptop to lock up. This is a known issue and might only affect certain hardware configs, but it is super annoying.
* Brightness buttons don't work out of the box. Only way to use them is to disable the laptop's built in brightness sensor
* Don't love the fn key placement but maybe I'll get used to it over time

My Framework has an 11th gen i5. 1: https://community.frame.work/t/framework-and-popos/2898 https://community.frame.work/t/framework-and-popos/2898 Quote: “DeepSleep: My Framework is defaulting to S2Idle which is burning through battery like crazy during sleep. you can enable deep sleep by adding a kernel boot option in `/boot/efi/loader/entries/pop_OS-current.conf` Just add `mem_sleep_default=deep` At the end of the options line. Waking up from sleep will take a little bit longer, but you won’t be chewing up battery while you rest.”
