| From: Lennart Sorensen via talk <talk@gtalug.org> | I saw a video recently where Louis Rossmann gave an update on having | used his Framework laptop for a couple of years now. | He runs linux and most things work, except apparently sleep mode doesn't | work properly so the battery still drains quite a bit in sleep mode | which of course it shouldn't. That's odd. I thought Linux support was one of their goals. And it should be close to a very standard Intel system. I just saw a YouTube review of the Arch-based version of Asahi Linux for Macs. It seemed to have much much worse battery run time than MacOS. <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZFx6R26aRHw> See 8:55. 4.5 hrs vs 13 hours for playing videos in a loop. With experimental GPU drivers, 8 to 9 hours. So there is promise. This is understandable: they are reverse-engineering everything and Asahi is still a beta or maybe alpha. | The Framework laptops at least look interesting. I like modularity but the kind they provide doesn't seem worth the extra price. The most interesting to me is updating the processor. But that takes a motherboard replacement, which is very expensive. So far, only one generation update has happened and that is not worth a lot to me. We'll see if larger jumps will be supported.
