I’m very interested in the laptop and want to support repairable devices. As a full-time Linux user is often unclear how well a device will work with Linux. In particular screen resolutions and sleeping are issues of continual problems.
In spite of the Intel processor I’d be very excited to pre-order a laptop if there’s more information published about how well the laptop runs Linux. Maybe an engineer who uses Linux could post a video walkthrough?
I’m sure there are many others in my position who are waiting to pull the trigger until they understand better how this laptop works with Linux distributions.
I will be first testing Pop!_OS for a short period on my Framework Laptop with i7-1185g7, and then I’ll be using Fedora as a daily driver. I can update here if you’d like. I’m algamer on twitter if you wish to follow along.
Mine should be arriving here in the first batch. I plan on installing arch linux as well as javascript, python, and golang tooling. I can post an update if those tools interest you. I also plan to compare its performance with my work mbp 16” in terms of thunderbolt docking and connection to 3 displays at high res and high refresh rates.
