Working on being fully on-brand - new transparent purple bezel for my #FrameworkLaptop (and some transparent purple expansions too, not visible from this angle).

@frameworkcomputer - batch 6 here; thanks for the hardware 
Anyone have experience with color calibration on linux? Specifically with gnome?
The gnome docs suggest a pantone huey is the best supported and cheapest option. I can find them on ebay for around $20. Will I regret not going with a more expensive option?
Got my @frameworkcomputer a few days ago. So far so good. @fedora works nice and smooth. I haven’t had much time to play with it but I like it!
120 Hz screen, amazing keyboard, even better than #ThinkPad’s! I thought small up and down buttons would be a problem for me but they aren’t! You don’t really need those in #Emacs hehe. Touchpad is good enough! I’d say similar to older pre-haptic MacBook’s.
However a few downsides:
5 GHz WiFi doesn’t work. It connects to the network but can’t access anything. Not sure if it’s the laptop’s problem or mine. 2.4 GHz works fine.
Built in speakers aren’t good but I don’t care because I use them about never.

Of course you shouldn't lift it at a dangerous acceleration, but I found that if it's fast enough so that the lid/screen is a bit more open than it was before (due to inertia) afterwards, there's a good chance that I produced a click. (_Please_ don't damage your screen hinges while trying this!)
I wouldn't say that it's an "issue", but it's certainly good to know :)
I'd love to hear from anyone who's able to reproduce this with their own device!
Hey #FrameworkLaptop 13 owners: I had a strange issue where video playback would sometimes stop once I physically moved the laptop, e.g. from the couch to the desk.
Turns out I can click my touchpad – from below.
To reproduce, grab the laptop (lid open) with one hand, with your thumb next to the touchpad and the other fingers on the underside of the case, opposite to where the upper half of the touchpad is, as pictured. Your grip should feel safe and secure.
Now, quickly lift the laptop.
I'm thinking about getting a framework laptop. Anyone have experience running Linux on one? if so, was it a good experience? #FrameworkLaptop #linux
FrameworkChoose Framework Laptop 16 DIY Edition (AMD Ryzen™ 7040 Series)The Framework Laptop 16 is a high-performance laptop with an upgradeable and completely modular design that allows endless options for configuration, including a fully reconfigurable input deck and modular discrete graphics.
One of the USB ports on my Ryzen 7040 Framework Laptop 13 stopped working some time ago, after a firmware update I think. Rebooting didn't help, leaving it powered off for some time didn't either. Even another firmware update didn't fix it.
But a mainboard reset as described in https://community.frame.work/t/diy-fw-13-amd-7640u-port-1-not-working/42069/7 did.
1. Disconnect charger.
2. Remove input cover (can stay attached).
3. Reconnect charger.
4. Hold chassis switch down for 2 seconds, 10 times.
5. Reassemble.
Framework Community · DIY FW 13 AMD 7640U - Port 1 not workingStep 1: Turn off laptop and remove charging cable Step 2: Remove Input Cover and replug charging cable Step 3: Press the case switch 10 times (it’s located near the fan). Press it for 2 seconds, release, then wait for the mainboard lights to blink red. Repeat until it has been done 10 times. Step 4: Reconnect Input Cover and turn on the laptop.
Me on Wednesday, seeing a firmware update for my #FrameworkLaptop available in LVFS: "Sweet, maybe they sharpened up their BIOS software engineering!" *Applies update*
Me, today, after my laptop quietly stopped charging entirely and has now discharged the battery to zero and won't charge or power on. "Well, fuck."
Me, after discovering that Framework have since pulled that BIOS update from distribution due to *different* critical bugs. 
I think it might be new laptop time, regardless of whether my Framework ever boots again. 
The Framework Laptop 12 goes up for pre-order on April 9th.

Since I am in Rome for a couple of days, I decided to come to work at the Library of the Senate of the Italian Republic this fine morning.
The library staff is not friendly at all, but the place is crazy.
I was asked what kind of laptop this is, and of course I proudly replied: “it’s a @frameworkcomputer, you should get one

Alright, so. Recently, about once a day, my #FrameworkLaptop 16 has been doing ... this.
This results in the loss of all USB.
Which includes the internal keyboard, any external keyboards, any bluetooth keyboards... basically, everything except the trackpad, which is HID-over-I2C, and the power button, which is wired to the cros EC. I wind up having to hard-power-cycle the machine.
I'm resisting the urge to throw this annoyingly bendy laptop out a window. Anybody got any ideas for how to debug this? @frameworkcomputer ?
ok I think I'm getting a good feel for the Framework 13 keyboard
#Framework Announces Framework Desktop and 2-in-1 Framework Laptop 12 https://9to5linux.com/framework-announces-framework-desktop-and-2-in-1-framework-laptop-12
Continued thread
okay uhh i'm not as hyped anymore, was hoping there'd be something for framework 16, but we got nothing (i'm gonna ignore that singular keycap thing)
framework desktop seems cool though, lack of upgradable RAM sucks but when you look into it, you'll see why it's soldered
the fact that you can buy these boards separately and drop them into any case you want is a big plus, and the 32gb version doesn't look too bad for a steam machine-like build
framework event in 2 hours, i can't wait to see what they have to announce
now that I've had my Framework 13 for a couple days, I have to say that trackpad gestures in GNOME are every bit as nice to use as I imagined they'd be
I did of course make use of them back with my Pinebook Pro, but the PBP's trackpad doesn't hold up against the Framework 13's at all. the latter's is definitely the nicest trackpad I've used on a laptop
(the bar _is_ pretty low as far as what I've actually used myself, but, still)

I get to order a new laptop for work. I have been allowed to go for less mainstream vendors, oriented toward linux compatibility.
https://nl.starlabs.systems/
https://frame.work/nl/en
I will most likely end up choosing frame.work because they are EU based, making the purchase and repairs simpler.
The question: which processor should I choose ?
