Pop!_OS, I had issues with the screen being constantly upside down but found a solution posted here: Pop_OS defaulting to inverted screen orientation - #4 by ekrus
I later realized the problem is most likely with grub instead of just Kubuntu. If you attempt to modify sleep so it’s deep sleep instead of s2idle for better battery longevity while off, after the first time you go into deep sleep the switching to tablet mode becomes inconsistent and switching from tablet mode requires putting the laptop to sleep again. this behavior requires running a fresh grub booter (like from a USB kubuntu or other GRUB using distro including fedora) and then booting the original one and modifying the grub to force it to use s2idle…
It’s weird, I have no idea how to get around the sensor not working after sleeping besides doing that. How I have it setup now is that if I close my laptop lid and I’m not plugged in, it just shuts down completely which then only leaves a mild inconvenience of a longer than I’d expect boot-time of 13 seconds
I am using Fedora 43 on my framework 12 even though I don’t like Fedora just because it was the only distro alongside Ubuntu 25.04 that was able to detect the touchscreen and the stylus out of the box. I tried ZorinOS, PopOS, mint and so many others, and either the touchscreen didn’t respond very well, or the gyroscope didn’t work or the stylus was not being detected. and between Ubuntu and Fedora I guess I went with Fedora.
I’m using ZorinOS on my framework 13 and PopOS on my desktop.

I use either Mint or LMDE (which is Mint over Debian). I just upgraded to LMDE 7, which is based on Debian Trixie and was released a month or two ago; unfortunately it still does not recognize the screen orientation. It was my understanding that Trixie does recognize it. I would appreciate suggestions.
