Windows 11 can't reboot + Linux random lockups

[Anachron]

Hello!

@digitalformula

During installation, Windows 11 says it can’t be installed on a USB device. What’s the point in advertising the storage expansion cards as suitable for an additional OS if standard procedures don’t work?

Because other operating systems have no issues? Even Windows works with some workarounds, so I dont see how your point is valid.

@digitalformula

I’m getting occasional complete system lock-ups, regardless of the OS in use. They’re seldom enough that I’m not particularly bothered but this shouldn’t happen on a brand new machine.

Could be a faulty RAM and/or NVME. I had the same caused by faulty hardware.

@digitalformula

The only thing I can do is hard-reset the machine by holding the power button down until it turns off. This is identical to and partially covered by this topic

Could be a lot of things. If Linux is also affected, maybe a faulty motherboard.

If not, a broken Windows install, missing drivers, bad configuration etc. Could be at fault.

I still rate my current Lenovo Gen9 X1 Carbon as a better experience.

So you have a portable windows setup on your lenovo carbon? Else you compare apples with oranges.

Yes, the Framework laptop has a few early adapter issues. But most are not caused by the Framework design or firmware.
