Bios update from 3.07 to 3.24 for laptop 13, 11th gen intel

@Erik_Wilhelm_Gren Depending how you use your laptop, I would recommend you only update to BIOS 3.17. They have introduced a bug from BIOS 3.19 on that might prevent your laptop from going into proper suspend mode. That means it will eat through your battery even during sleep. This is as far as I know not fixed. The only way for your laptop to go through a night is by using hibernate, but that requires special setup during installation of your distro. Somebody even created a gnome extension to circumvent all this mess. I used it for a while but stopped caring at some point.

Note that you cannot go back once you went to 3.19. There is no downgrade path.

They claimed that Intel CPUs never supported these modes on Linux in the first place, although everything was working fine before. For me this made the Framework unusable as a travel laptop and I went back to a Macbook.

There are threads in the forum with a lot more explanation.

If you use the Framework as a stationary computer, you might not care. So you need to decide for yourself.
