Which linux distro did you install and have you had any issues?
- starkparker 3y agoFedora 39 is the "official" way to go on the AMD board due to the newer kernel. Installed without problems and all hardware worked on boot. The biggest issues are setting up a workaround for staying in sleep/suspend while the lid's closed but plugged in: https://community.frame.work/t/tracking-framework-amd-ryzen-7040-series-lid-wakeup-behavior-feedback/39128/53 https://community.frame.work/t/tracking-framework-amd-ryzen-... And flipping a VRAM flag to avoid GPU memory allocation issues: https://community.frame.work/t/tracking-graphical-corruption-in-fedora-39-amd-3-03-bios/39073 https://community.frame.work/t/tracking-graphical-corruption... Neither of which is Fedora specific, and both of which might be resolved via update.
- zzzeek 3y agoI went straight for fedora 39. The two issues I had were 1. the initial BIOS update hung, and I had to run it again - elsewhere, someone who had this problem had reported that it bricked their machine, however I was able to get through it: https://www.reddit.com/r/framework/comments/17jzj40/bios_update_taking_forever/ https://www.reddit.com/r/framework/comments/17jzj40/bios_upd... Then for 2., there's a kernel param I had to set to avoid a display issue, that's mentioned here: https://www.phoronix.com/news/AMD-Scatter-Gather-Re-Enabled https://www.phoronix.com/news/AMD-Scatter-Gather-Re-Enabled , I had that exact problem.
- gumballindie 3y agoThank you for sharing your experience and fixes. Sounds straight forward to fix, although a bit disappointing that they don’t put the effort to supply kernel patches to make it work out of the box, particularly for a laptop that claims to be diy friendly. To be fair, i’d rate it 3/5 based on people experience with it.
