If you have a Framework 13 AMD and suffer from graphic artifacts, page faults on Linux (in my case Manjaro), a downgrade of mesa to 24.3.4 might help:

(Building mesa 25.2.0-devel from git containing a potential fix was not possible due to some Git fsck issue in a packed object)

Add mesa to ignore list of package manager to temp. exclude from updates.

Seriously, what on earth is going on? They're releasing a whole new laptop and have given the FL13 Ryzen AI options but there's nothing new for the FL16. I'm hoping for a 2nd gen dGPU before I would get mine (or even a Zen 5 CPU, but I am OK with a Zen 4 as of now) but it seriously feels like there's no progress on that front. The last thing they made for the FL16 was the Dual M.2 and that was in December. Will there be new parts for the FL16? When? If not, will there be another dGPU laptop offering?

So, 10am PT instead of 8am PT. Here's a countdown, hopefully I managed to set it to the correct time: https://www.timeanddate.com/countdown/generic?iso=20250409T10&p0=137&msg=Framework+Laptop+12+Pre-order

So... who's excited to finally get detailed specs and pre-order start?

Just want to add to the chorus, framework is awesome. This thing is so sleek and fancy.

There were a couple of hiccups with the DIY build. An out of position Wi-Fi wire on the hinge, and I wasn't told to plug it in before turning it on, so I thought I had a dud for a minute or two. But that's no big deal.

It was the deal that got me, I went with a 7840u, with the 2.8k screen. I bought my own ram, and reused a 2230 512gb nvme from when I upgraded my steam deck. That'll hold me over until I decide I need more 🤷‍♂️

It's only been a few days but so far I couldn't be happier!

Gotta stop myself from fidgeting with the bezel magnets, it's fun but I'm gonna break it 😬

Edit: Forgot to mention I'm running Bluefin, based on recommendations here. My first time with Fedora, and immutable/atomic based distros. I'm used to Debian based stuff. So far I haven't run into too much trouble. Though I AM struggling with my virtual machine.

I have three apps that I need Windows for still, ther

I'm looking into a new laptop and really like what I see from framework. One point I'm concerned about is buying into a repairable system but being wholly reliant on a small relatively new player to continue providing specially modularized parts (e.g. the USB modules). Is this concern valid or is there something I'm overlooking?

Side question: has anyone had luck with PopOS on a framework?

Just wanted to share my experiences with Wi-Fi 7 on my Framework 13 and 16. Attached is a picture of a rebranded QCNCM865 card I bought on Ebay. I've tried this and one from MSI on both the Framework 13 AMD and Framework 16.

On Linux this chip works out-of-the-box if the distro uses a newer version of the kernel. It "worked" on Linux 6.12, but dropped connection often under usage. The card works perfectly fine with no issues on Linux 6.13. I've tested both Fedora and NixOS with the Wi-Fi card.

Windows doesn't support the card by default. I had to install Windows on a wired connection and install this MSI driver. The card works perfectly fine on Windows with no issues.

This card is an even better choice than the default Mediatek card for Wi-Fi 6E.

Thought it was interesting to see them chime in on Mastodon. Apparently the socket standard can't keep up with what hardware is capable of

Maybe we can see an improved socket in the future? Maybe sockets more like a cpu or something?

Does anyone know where to find one of those plastic keyboard covers for a Framework? My web searches have come up empty.

We’ve been hinting that this year is going to be huge, and we’re ready to share why… in two weeks on Feb 25th, at our Framework (2nd Gen) Event! We’re holding this launch event live in San Francisco and streaming to our YouTube channel at 10:30am Pacific that day. You can sign up now to get notified when the stream starts. The last time we held a live launch event was in March 2023, when we unveiled Framework Laptop 16 and two new versions of Framework Laptop 13. It’s been amazing seeing the interest in these products and the incredible ways the community has been using and extending on them. We’ve been heads down working for the last two years on an even bigger set of announcements.

For this event, in addition to bringing in press and partners, we’re opening a pool of invites to the Framework Community to attend the event in person, meet the team, and get hands on with our newest products. If you’re a current Framework fan and are in the

I'm configuring a Framework 13, and while selecting the ports, I came across a question that I couldn't determine from the pictures, product pages, or configurator:

Is there a dedicated USB-C port for docking and charging? That is, to say, if I don't choose USB-C for at least one of the expansion ports, will I still be able to plug it in to a USB-C dock? If not, how will I charge the laptop? Is there a dedicated charging port?

Dear Framework enthusiasts,

After several days of intense development exclusively for my Patreon supporters, I'm thrilled to announce the release of Framework Hub in C#! This complete rewrite brings enhanced performance, stability, and a beautiful modern interface to help you get the most out of your Framework laptop.

✨ What's New?

The C# version has been rebuilt from the ground up with:

• A sleek, modern UI using Avalonia framework
• Enhanced performance and reliability
• Full Windows 11 integration
• Professional installer with automatic driver setup
• Improved AMD CPU management
• Show/hide window with F12

r/framework - [W11]🎉 Framework Hub: The Ultimate Framework Laptop Control Center - Now in C#! 🎉 🛠️ Key Features:

Advanced Power Management

• Custom power profiles for different use cases
• Real-time monitoring of CPU parameters
• Temperature and power limit adjustments

Just landed on this article by Phoronix on an AI accelerator in an m.2 drive format.

This one is from memryX and seems to be rather mature and capable though mostly low power.

I can't stop thinking that this may be a great usecase for the new expansion bay for the Framework laptop 16, with it's two additional full size m.2 slots. Would be very interesting to see whether two of these could be combined and used jointly and how much acceleration it provides compared to the AMD CPU alone.

Anyway, just sharing because I thought it was cool.

Today we’re launching the first new module for the Expansion Bay system in Framework Laptop 16: the Dual M.2 Adapter, enabling you to add additional storage drives or other high speed devices. When we first announced Framework Laptop 16, we shared that one of the core design goals was unlocking desktop-like modularity within a slim notebook form factor with high performance PCIe-interfaced modules. Our first modules were the Graphics Module with an AMD Radeon 7700S discrete GPU and the Expansion Bay Shell which provides cooling along with an open central area for modules to drop into. The new Dual M.2 Adapter is the first module that installs into the Expansion Bay Shell. You can pick it up today in the Framework Marketplace along with the Graphics Module Interposer that it uses to connect to the Mainboard; just remember to update your Framework Laptop 16 to the [latest BIOS](https://knowledgebase.frame.work/en_us/framework-laptop-16-bio

I'm not in market for new laptop for another year (half year). However are there any price expectations with tariffs (USA)? (Are there any statements made by framework company?)

[EDIT]: I've decided to get the laptop.
