Finally here
Wanted to buy framework laptop for the longest time, but they dont ship to Norway :(
Ship it to Berlin and I’ll bring it when I go home for xmas. No really, Im sure you know someone in EU
This is the best summary I could come up with:
I’ve been testing out the Framework Laptop 13 the past month and after a BIOS update has been working out wonderfully on Linux.
Another pleasant change since looking at the original Framework laptop in 2021 has been the company providing even better Linux support.
The only notable Linux support caveat for the current hardware is possible fingerprint reader issues if not running on the latest firmware.
The embedded controller is based on the Google Chromebook EC and making use of Zephyr.
One step further it would be great if the Framework 13 AMD laptop made use of Coreboot, but alas that’s not the case.
Hopefully though that will become more of a reality as AMD OpenSIL hits production in ~2026 and that we continue seeing more open-source firmware efforts invested by Framework.

I love the idea of such a computer so I wish that project the best.
It should just ship with Linux preinstall as their ethos aren’t compatible with windows for me.
It certainly seems strange to me that it officially supports Ubuntu and Fedora, yet doesn’t offer the option of having it preinstalled
I think pretty much anyone buying one those laptops who wants Linux already knows how to install it and let’s be honest if it ships with any given distro I think most would install their preference over it anyway
