I'm using 12th gen processor, latest versions of Ubuntu and Linux
Ubuntu: Ubuntu 22.04.1 LTS
Linux: 5.17.0-051700-generic
The only problems I've had so far is the "brightness" fn keys don't work, and bluetooth isn't great with certain devices like Airpods.
The brightness keys isn't a big deal, can still set brightness in the OS. It's probably fixable through some manual keymapping.
Bluetooth is more annoying but I somehow doubt it's a hardware issue. I just ended up getting Sony wireless earbuds to complete my transition away from Apple.
That being said, I also tried to dual boot Windows. Windows really does not like the hardware, and the Framework driver install package (https://knowledgebase.frame.work/en_us/framework-laptop-bios-and-driver-releases-12th-gen-intel-core-Bkx2kosqq https://knowledgebase.frame.work/en_us/framework-laptop-bios...) had limited effect in fixing the issues. Lots of bugs with audio and graphics.
So, for now I would say it is too premature for Windows, but great for Linux!
- boldlybold 4y agoI had the same problem, the solution is here: https://community.frame.work/t/12th-gen-not-sending-xf86monbrightnessup-down/20605 https://community.frame.work/t/12th-gen-not-sending-xf86monb... You can enable the hotkey support by blacklisting the hid-sensor-hub driver: vi /etc/modprobe.d/framework-als-blacklist.conf Add the following: blacklist hid-sensor-hub And then restart It worked, but it needed `hid_sensor_hub` with underscores! and `sudo update-initramfs -u` before the reboot
- warent 4y agoJust got around to trying this and it worked. Thank you!
- nrp 4y agoI would be interested in understanding what issues you are seeing on Windows. We do quite a bit of validation on Windows. A sibling comment shared the fix for the brightness keys, but you can also grab that information from our setup guide for Ubuntu: https://guides.frame.work/Guide/Ubuntu+22.04+LTS+Installation+on+the+Framework+Laptop/109?lang=en https://guides.frame.work/Guide/Ubuntu+22.04+LTS+Installatio...

- jbeard4 4y agoHi, I saw your comment about Bluetooth issues with your AirPods, and I wanted to let you know that I have been having great success using my AirPods after I swapped out Pulseaudio for Pipewire on my System76 lemur pro laptop running PopOS. I think Ubuntu is planning to migrate from Pulseaudio to Pipewire as the default sound server, but maybe they haven’t done it yet. Anyway, this might be something you want to try. I use them for zoom meetings 1-2 hours every day, and they are extremely reliable.
- warent 4y agoI see! It appears Ubuntu 22 has both Pulseaudio and Pipewire installed, and Pulseaudio is set to the default, with Pipewire just not enabled. Will poke around at it. Maybe they're making some incremental transition still. Thanks for the tip
