I’m hoping we get an update on why this is soon. It’ll be two weeks from their last update tomorrow so hopefully we get some news tomorrow.
Do they send an email with the tracking number or is just on the order page?
Looking at the preparing your batch email it looks like you will get a shipping notification that will contain the tracking number.
It is at my distribution center! Will be delivered on Monday!
Received mine today, was scheduled for Monday before Noon!
Mine is out for delivery … Kinda unexpected…
Update after having it a few days - I switched from Ubuntu 22 → Fedora 39 and am having a much smoother experience. My initial testing in Ubuntu performance was that there is an issue scaling the cpu/core frequencies. For example I could run sysbench
and all cores would drop down to ~500Mhz, even though cpufreq information indicated that max was 3800Mhz. Other bonus that Fedora 39 kernel is 6.9 while Ubuntu 22 is stuck at 6.2 because of previously mentioned wifi issues. So that is my $0.02 at this point.
This is very helpful feedback on the comparison of your experience between Ubuntu 22.04 and Fedora 39.
Do you have any other examples of the difference in performance from your usage? What about hardware like the fingerprint scanner? What is the battery life like in your experience between the two?
I missed mine today it was scheduled for Monday.
As it now will be.
Fingerprint reader setup was a non-issue; it just worked. Something I need to configure is disabling it for sudo
- I prefer my pw in that situation.
Performance wise I noticed something was wrong with Ubuntu when loading pages in Firefox. YouTube in particular took about 5 seconds to render everything and that is when I started thinking something was not right.
Can’t really speak to regular usage battery life. I’ve been running in balanced power mode, 1.5h uptime and at 86% usage. Just regular web browsing. Brightness ~25%.
some of us will convert to linux shortly
Hey, new here and i’m on batch 2 too, for my info, have you received 2 mails like “We are preparing” and “Please Pay” ? or only 1 mail that was “We are preparing” because i received this one on 13th too but no news since then.
Do you have any special modules in your order like the Linux keyboard, macropad, blank keyboard etc.?
If you do, then it’s going to take a bit longer since those are delayed, people from batch 1 received an E-Mail about it.
I personally have also not been charged, since I have the blank ANSI keyboard in my order.
Oh i see, it could be it because i commanded a french keyboard.
I have only received the one email even though I don’t have any of the delayed parts.
and the 3.5mm audio jack added on later.
The laptop is in my possession!
Same here. No updates, no charge, no back ordered parts:

Lucky.
