Framework 12 Linux Review

But Framework also stated, in the past regarding S3 on tigerlake that it’s not supported by Intel, and implying somewhat that we / you’re on your own when it comes to S3.

Like, to me, it’s not a Framework-supported feature, but it ‘works’. Kind of like, using a Toyota bonnet to fry an egg in the Australian outback, it’s not supported, but it works.

In the review, you ‘recommended’ changing the setting to deep, but it’s not clear if this would be officially supported by Framework. This come into play, typically in larger deployments, as one wouldn’t want to stray away from the scope of official supported configurations. Might need Framework to clarify this.

Or does someone have knowledge of the official wording on this?

In my head, and it might just be me, “reviews” ought to stay in the lanes of “Does the product do what it’s supposed to do, and how well?”, in a supported fashion. Then there’s the opinion oriented articles / videos that gives opinions, recommendations, user journey (beyond OOTB UX) vibe. So, mixing a recommendation into a review throws me off track a little (and again, it’s probably just me).

So I got Omarchy installed. If you follow the Framework guide, you can install all of the drivers you need for rotation, etc. Then if you run the Omarchy installer script it will add it.

Totally in love with it.

First time on Arch. Guess I can start telling everyone that I use Arch, btw.

Now to copy the setup in NixOS… :joy_cat:

At least this is better than

Nice! How is the auto-rotating display and virtual keyboard on Omarchy on Arch Linux? Do these features work?

Yes indeed. Everything seems to work. You just have to make sure you install the driver for the rotation sensor. (instructions on how to do that are on the FW guide for installing Arch on the 12.)
Even got my FW Fan Control software working on it as well. Needs a little tweaking though, and then I’ll through it up on github.
