[RESOLVED] Is There A Distro/OS/DE That Is Stable With AMD Framework?

@okko

what I perceive to be a bit of an inflammatory tone in this post was somehow the thing that drove me to write my first.

I am sorry I came off like that, I have rewritten my original post, hopefully it sounds less inflammatory.

Although I was frustrated from delayed batch 1, to delayed BIOS, together with the unstable unit in the end, I am still with this machine because I believe in the mission of framework, their support, and this community. Otherwise, it would be much easier for me to “get a Dell”, but I am still here because I am committed to make this laptop work.

@okko

There are already hundreds of people on online communities showing off their neat setups, here and elsewhere.

I have showed my experience setting up this laptop, but that does not mean the laptop is stable. I have seen several people showed off their setup and later documented problem with the system, it is not mutually exclusive.

@okko

but the main point is that you are using a beta version of an OS on a first generation machine. I do not understand how and why some members of the community expect 99% reliability from this kind of setup.

Because Fedora 39 BETA is the officially most recommended distro:

@Matt_Hartley

Fedora 39 Beta - This works “out of the box”, and is the distro we would most recommend at the moment. You can run the beta and update into the release state in mid-Oct.

@okko

My suggestion to you is to try to use a different platform (e.g., bootable) to test for any hardware issues or to share logs to see if anyone else has had similar issues.

I don’t think it is the hardware issue in particular, it is more likely the driver, firmware, and bios issue. I have never intended to imply that this is the fault of framework, I am sorry if it seems that way.
