What distro are people running with the new 2.8k display? I want to like the Framework (and indeed, any linux laptop) but the compromises are still too many. Poor battery life, lack of fractional scaling support, fan noise, trouble with suspend/hibernate, palm rejection issues, wonky wifi and tinny sound are all things I see on forums.
- ben-schaaf 2y agoI'm just running ubuntu 24.04. After following their guide battery life is pretty great, GNOME has fractional scaling under both Wayland and X11, the fans do get loud under full load but not otherwise, it doesn't suspend like older laptops but it does always work, touchpad is great, haven't had wifi issues and the sound isn't too bad. I've seen numerous people complaining about battery life, fractional scaling or sound that just didn't follow the guides. For instance there's a bios setting for linux audio compatibility. Note this is a fw16 without the GPU.

- ben-schaaf 2y agoIt's using S0 instead of S3 sleep, losing ~1% an hour.
