Hey Framework folks, I’ve been the proud owner of a Framework 13 AMD for a few weeks now. At first, I was a bit disappointed because everything just worked right away – the assembly was super quick and easy, installing Fedora was a breeze, and even the fingerprint scanner worked. It was all just way too smooth and pleasant, which, as a Linux user, is something I’m not really used to. But thank god, a few small issues popped up.
- Battery – The battery drains really, really fast, especially when the laptop is in suspend mode. It doesn’t even last 24 hours (I charge it only to 80%). What can I do about it?
- Fingerprint scanner – After every reboot, when I unlock the laptop with my fingerprint, I have to enter my user password twice. After that, the fingerprint is enough to wake it from sleep.
- eGPU – I have a OneXGPU. So far, so good – gaming works fine and everything. But the computer crashes every time I turn off the eGPU. Any ideas on what I can do? Or I was thinking about setting up a Windows VM and passing the eGPU through. Has anyone tried this or even have a guide for it?
Thanks in advance, and big thanks to Framework for the awesome work!
