So, to give some early feedback after using my Framework for a few days. So far my Crucial 96GB kit seems to be working fine (CT2K48G56C46S5?). I do have some issues with the 6.5 kernel on my Gentoo install. I expect the BIOS update and/or future kernels to fix that though, since that behaviour seems to be mostly documented. For example whenever I start Steam, it crashes the amdgpu driver with some IBS error. I’ll probably try the 6.6 kernel soon (or figure out which patch might be relevant from the Ubuntu OEM kernel). Interestingly Firefox, Wayland, etc seem to be working fine, but Steam crashes the kernel reliably on startup. At some point that seemed to crash the whole system, with fun blinking lights on the charge port, keyboard and power button not working, etc, but that resolved itself after a few minutes. But yeah, that is what you get to deal as an early adopter of exotic configurations and so far it isn’t much worse that the permanent issues I had on my previous ASUS laptop (where it didn’t crash Steam, but instead had a black screen and no USB after suspend, so…).

Just use your cursor to highlight the portion of text you want to quote and a little popup will appear that says "Quote. Click that and you’re all set.

There’s a post about it on reddit. OP said it works fine.

Although, if you look at the AMD RAM issue thread, someone with the same kit has reported errors so I guess we’ll have to wait and see.

@demounit I can 100% confirm that my laptop isn’t booting currently with that kit: CT2K16G56C46S5 . Not sure what the root cause is and I submitted a support request. I’ll report back here what I find out. Here’s hoping for user error.

So for anyone curious, since I got this on monday, i wrote down all the random things I’ve done since then, its sort of a review but sort of a random list of things i did.
here is the post if anyone is interested, might help others who are receiving it soon.
if sharing this is against the rules or something, sorry just delete it.

I just assembled my framework laptop this morning. There are a couple of problems I have encountered:
-
the laptop did not post at the beginning, but after bunch of praying to the repairability god and setting up a shrine using ifixit tools, things magically worked…
-
the fingerprint hardware was not recognized by Fedora 39, I followed this guide https://github.com/FrameworkComputer/linux-docs/blob/main/13th-gen-fingerprint-reader-firmware.md . Despite the output complained that the process failed, fingerprint works flawlessly after that.
-
booting into x11 is super slow, and it always automatically boot into x11 after boot. I have to log out and then select the wayland session.
-
this baby crashes like nobody’s business, especially with flatpak electron apps on wayland. I have experienced crash with signal, slack, freetube; and megasync would freeze after I selected th local sync folder.
-
adding to previous, there are several types of crash, sometimes the app would crash, sometimes the DE would crash and then recover, sometimes the entire DE would crash and put me into a blank screen with a cursor (not even the terminal), I can type but cannot execute any command.
-
it is hard to imagine flatpak electron apps still do not work out of the box on HiDPI wayland… This is not the fault of framework, but just some of my complains…
Overall, this laptop seems to have a lot of potential (I havent hear the fan spin once during the entire day of tinkering, nor is the laptop hot), but at this point, with fedora 39 BETA, the experience feels like very much unfinished. Hopefully 3.03 firmware can fix it.
At this point, I probably have to go back to my 5 years old windows laptop, and wait a whole minute for my tex document to compile…
I would be happy to provide more detailed diagnostics, if it is helpful! Hope he software and firmware will become more polished in the coming weeks.
