This. By now, I have set up and maintained enough installations of diverse open / hobbyist products (e.g. Debian, Raspberry Pi, Home Assistant, Mixxx, Jellybean, Nextcloud... ) to come to the conclusion that an unorganized, unmaintained, laissez-fair user community democrized potpourri of "knowledge bases" quickly becomes a huge issue.
It sucks to have to hunt around a multitude of issue trackers, wikis, discussion forums, mailing list archives, Gitlab pages, web sites etc. to find solutions.
Sometimes, it is comment #297 in some paginated forum thread that helped, as previous nonworking answers in the same thread related to another software release version, using and referencing a different setup implicitly referencing comment #246 a couple of pages before.
- nrp 3y agoWe publish a compatibility overview and step by step guides for popular distros specifically to avoid that: https://frame.work/linux https://frame.work/linux
- zackify 3y agoI think what would help me a lot more, if I had to do this again, is a specific article only for the amd framework with everything you need to do after. For instance, the fingerprint sensor, it’s a red note on a step, sure, but it’s kind of hard to go through every guide and read all these “if you are on X version of the platform” Compared to knowing you are reading a guide 100% for the platform you have, less stuff in the way that isn’t applicable and less likely to miss important things. Also, there is no knowledge base article at all for flashing red lights and I have to find a forum post to move the foam back into place. Would be good to get a page up with the light codes for red flashing. Even the fingerprint pam setup that is required for use in 1Password and others, is at the bottom of another guide I found in a forum post, might be wrong here but it’s worth noting some of these Love what you’ve been doing overall
- nrp 3y agoThanks for the feedback! The foam positioning issue you ran into is definitely not good, and I've flagged it to our Supplier Quality Manager.
- cassepipe 3y agoI second this. Linux support is good but I feel forum fatigue too.
