Welcome to the Framework Community Forums!
We strongly recommend reading our Forums 101 and FAQ post below before posting in the forums.
As the name suggests, this is the community forum! It’s one of the official Framework Community Platforms and a go-to place for reviews, discussions, recommendations, beta BIOS and driver bundles, Linux issues, community-run troubleshooting, feature requests, creator and developer discussions, second-hand laptop and parts sales, and chats about Framework products.
Please note, the Framework Support team does not provide support via the community forums. You can contact the support team using this form. If you’d like to troubleshoot issues with other community members, use the Community Support category.
Before creating a new topic, please use the search function. Our moderation team consolidates threads when possible. Leaving a comment under an existing thread, rather than creating a new one, helps make discussions more efficient and feedback more trackable. If you notice duplicate threads, kindly flag them for the moderation team.
