Just got a 12th gen Framework laptop and it works great. The only thing that would be nicer is if they managed to do a touch screen. Still have my Lenovo T420i

Just got a 12th gen Framework laptop and it works great. The only thing that would be nicer is if they managed to do a touch screen. Still have my Lenovo T420i as a backup but the Framework is faster, runs longer on a charge, and generally does everything a bit smoother.
- auraham 4y agoWhat distro are you using? I read somewhere in HN that the 12th gen is not recommended for Linux (previous gen was suggested instead).
- nrp 4y agoWe have updated recommendations here: https://frame.work/linux https://frame.work/linux There was a brief period of time early in Alder Lake availability when Intel pushed graphics drivers with regressions that went out in certain kernel versions, but support for 12th Gen has been stable since then.
- ChuckMcM 4y agoPrior to nrp's response I was going to say "standard"? I typically start with a Ubuntu release, run a script to turn off/expunge snaps, remove any network items systemd touches, add tools I always want, and then add LXDE as the desktop environment. Anyway I didn't have any issues.
