In 21.10, looks like people are reporting issues with audio, trackpad, and intermittent freezing. I think I’ve seen issues with wifi too, but I can’t find the right thread/post at the moment. I’m sure everything is fixable, but it’s certainly not “setting things up once, and having it run without fuss for two or more years.”
This is mostly a heads up for other Ubuntu users.
TL;DR: 21.10 has some interesting issues with Wayland. I was seeing hard locks lasting just shy of 1 second all the way up to 4+ seconds at least once a minute, if not as frequently as multiple times in a 10 second span.
Longer version:
I luckily have 2 identical NVMe drives, so before doing an in-place upgrade from 21.04 to 21.10 I cloned my drive. After the clone, I did a do-release-upgrade, and while everything appeared fine the TL;DR began…
On Ubuntu 21.10 after hours of use the sound just randomly stops working. Youtube.com says “Audio Renderer error please restart your computer”
… Restarting seems to work… But it’s annoying issue that needs to be fixed. Any suggestions are welcomed.
Ubuntu 21.10 is now released and has partial support for the Framework Laptop. Some manual workarounds are required to achieve usability and full functionality.
Installation
We’ve published a step by step guide for installing Ubuntu 21.10 on the Framework Laptop.
