Wild test results from Phoronix. Great work @AMDRyzen and @ubuntu teams!

Our focus is building products to last through upgrade and repair, and software is a critical part of that. This morning we shared more around our BIOS and driver update process to enable software longevity.

We fell short of where we needed to be on software updates, and we are making the necessary investments to not just deliver more timely releases, but also to communicate more broadly when we do.

@frameworkcomputer@fosstodon.org avatar

Obviously, our words here are not enough. We need to and commit to demonstrating the results of these investments. We released new BIOS versions for our AMD laptops this week, with updaters for both Windows and Linux, and a release for Intel 12th Gen on Windows last week.

We'll continue to update you in our community channels as we release further updates, and we're developing additional notification methods for software updates as well.

@danderson @warthog9 Correct, we are on LVFS and actually working closely with the LVFS maintainer.

Seeing @frameworkcomputer talk about their new software team is good, but that email also raises the question why they don't upload to /

@razze We do. I am looking at BIOS updates for FW16 and FW13 in LVFS right now. We also have a recent FPReader update as well. We do show up in the search results, however, the data shown is dated. As it sits now:

Framework Laptop 13 AMD Ryzen 7040 System Update

Framework Laptop 16 AMD Ryzen 7040 System Update

Framework Fingerprint Sensor Upgrade Fingerprint Reader Update

@razze Both of the laptop updates recently moved from testing to stable.

Our Founder sat with Jason Carman to talk through Framework’s product philosophy, the dynamics of the consumer electronics industry, and how we think about our roadmap.

"There's a different way to build consumer hardware: creating an ecosystem for modularity & upgradability. Framework Computer is reinventing laptops, and soon much more, in Episode 39 of S³."

We care about sustainability not just with our laptops, but also with our merch!

All Framework hats are made with upcycled and organic cotton twill sourced from GOTS-certified organic sources.

The original Micron N28 flash we used in our high-speed Storage Expansion Card is end of life, so we've moved over to SK Hynix V6 flash and are calling the new cards (2nd Gen). Sustained write speeds are similar on the new 1TB, but faster on the new 250GB.

We'll be at the Open Source Summit in Seattle next week. Stop by Booth B11 to say hi to the team and play with some Framework Laptops.

We've just opened a new firmware/system software role (open to US, Canada, and Taiwan). We develop open source firmware to enable products like this, and we have even more exciting projects on our roadmap:

Our production in Taiwan is temporarily paused to prioritize worker safety while our manufacturing partner checks for any impact from the earthquake today. We're hoping for the best for our friends, colleagues, and partners across Taiwan. 🇹🇼

Hey everyone!

I'm working on a video to see what the Linux community (or at least people who follow me) actually use.

So, I created a little form, hosted on my Nextcloud (hopefully it's up to the task...)

It's only up for 2 days, so don't hesitate to share it around, it will help me "touch grass" and see if my preconceived notions are confirmed, or invalidated!

https://nextcloud.thelinuxexp.com/index.php/apps/forms/s/XQRzMrs8QTtCjDfSyP4koA9o

Of course, it's all anonymous, no personal data, it's just for the purposes of creating the video.

@BumblebeeMan @thelinuxEXP I can shine some light on this. We're Linux Friendly. In that, we spend oodles of time and testing against our two tested distros to make sure we're in a good state. Being 99.999999% of our customers are DIY builders, pre-installed would not not be a fit.

@gloopsies Nope, they are saying 40 is not an issue in an edit. However I want folks holding off on 40 despite their indicaton until I speak with them.

@gloopsies
Edited post to clarify. I'm being ultra cautious.

@frameworkcomputer@fosstodon.org avatar

@TuxOnBike Appreciate it.

@frameworkcomputer@fosstodon.org avatar

@BumblebeeMan agreed. I need to dig in a bit more for those distros. Do you have specific links with their recommendations? I need to be careful to make sure their specific guidence is acknowledged. Being a good FoSS citizen.

(Knowing I am asking a Linux-centric audience, I have tweaked the X poll a bit as I know my audience here)

Which Operating System release are you most excited for?

@frameworkcomputer@fosstodon.org avatar

Framework Laptop owners, testing welcome and encouraged!

However, please follow @fedora recommendations for reporting back as outlined in "Testing Needed" section of their article.
