Found a dead link in the Guide

Framework Laptop 13

I am re-reading through the FW13 DIY assembly/setup guides so I’ll be ready when my laptop arrives.

On this page (the DIY setup guide FW13 Ryzen) on Step 14, the Fedora Installation Instructions bullet point leads to a dead link. It looks in the URL to be pointing towards Fedora 39 instead of 40. I found the Fedora 40 page. Just trying to be helpful. You can’t fix it if you don’t know it’s broken. :smiley:

As a side note, do I need to do both of the Linux/LVFS and the Linux/Other/UEFI Shell Updates steps on this page? Or is it a one or the other type of thing?

I’m newish to Linux and definitely not a power user. I have learned the basics and plan on learning more. I’ve used Ubuntu for 2 years and it updates the firmware on my Dell automatically from time to time. Will this happen on the FW and Fedora 40? How often should I check for Bios updates?

This page is a life-saver for a normie like me! Thank you once again Framework and Framework Community!

For the update, it’s one or the other. No need to do them both

Fedora has built in support for fwupd/lvfs so you should get the Bios updates through that when they are released.

on Fedora Workstation you can use the Gnome Software GUI application to update your system. Or you can use the commandline.

I use both from time to time on ubuntu. I only ever get bios updates from the GUI though as I don’t know how through the terminal.

Glad to hear that I will get bios updated through LVFS .

Do I run this command from time to time or will it alert me when there is a bios updates like my ubuntu does?

It doesn’t matter which one you use, you won’t get updates faster with other.

Gnome software will show a notification when there are updates available

Awesome!
I just do both on ubuntu so I can keep the command memorized. I usually just ctrl alt t and then arrow key up to get it again.
