Hey all, I’m just starting a topic for things I’m learning as I run PopOS 21.04 on my Framework.
Installing.
You’re gonna need to disable secure boot. Until you do the default installer image will give you a kernel signature error. Do that by spamming F2 during power up and then disabling SecureBoot entirely in Bios
DeepSleep
My Framework is defaulting to S2Idle which is burning through battery like crazy during sleep. you can enable deep sleep by adding a kernel boot option in
/boot/efi/loader/entries/pop_OS-current.conf
Just add
mem_sleep_default=deep
At the end of the options line. Waking up from sleep will take a little bit longer, but you won’t be chewing up battery while you rest.
Screen tearing when scrolling
Nothing new here, Linux and Intel video loves to tear when you scroll or watch youtube etc. Fix it by creating
/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf
and inside of that file put
Section "Device"
Identifier "Intel Graphics"
Driver "intel"
Option "TearFree" "true"
EndSection
Auto screen dimming, wifi, bluetooth all work out of the box. Fingerprint scanner isn’t recognized but I hear a rumor that a guide is coming soon.
