  • I’m not going back arch/bazzite to try this. For two reasons, 1. I can’t enable those things, my hardware doesn’t support reBAR. And 2. My issue sounds potentially different. I could load and run the game, but it would crash regularly. Realistically, if this is the issue my only solution is to roll back to an old kernel (not supported in arch), and I’m not sure if that fly’s in bazzite either. Distro hoping to Mint is then a great solution, even if I didn’t take a rational path there.



  • Oh yeh good catch.

    I can’t do resizable bar, so it would have been a kernel regression to fix (if that was the issue). I think patched in next release. Although I never got any error messaging in any logs that i could see :(

    The nice thing about the deck, at least from an outsiders perspective, is that everyone’s got the more or less same hardware. If you have an issue most likely someone else has the same issue, and already has a fix that’ll work for you.








  • There’s a few of us. I’ve been daily driving framework 13 Intel 12th gen over a year for work running fedora. It replaced a Microsoft surface who’s battery life had died in 3 years (warranty replacement).

    Really enjoyed using it tbh, and happy with having a clear upgrade pathway (I’ll probably wait till the next 13 inch main boards get released). I love the idea of being able to change my i/o around, but realistically is just allowed my to settle on what I actually want. Turns out to be 2xusbC, microSD and usbA. If there ever is a mobile sim I’d get that, also am rs232.

    It’s not perfect though, and you pay more and give up some polish to get the modularity.

    Battery life is middling but workable. Short story is I am concious of keeping it charged. Depending on the workload I can get to 6hrs, but that’s really it. I never goto work without my charger, I also have taken to carrying a power brick in my backpack to cover the few times I’ve run it down and want to work on the train.

    Video and microphone are not great, but usable. Most issues have been using linux in a Microsoft work environment related.

    Speakers needed an easy effects re balance to be usable for video calls with anything but minor background noise.

    My display port 2 adaptor died, as have many other users.

    Screen wobbles more than I’d like, but not enough to get the upgraded hinges.

    It’s fairly loud when the fans spin up, but I’m normally doing something to upset it. Either working on a soft surface obstructing air flow or running a heavy work load.
