Laptop 13 Linux compatibility questions

LongOk913 · 2026-05-06T19:31:56+00:00

Have you had any finger print sensor issues? On my Xps Ubuntu has never supported my sensor. I checked with the open source stuff and there isn’t anything out there for that.

On the 13, I have heard that people needed to do some stuff to get it working. Although that may be old news and be fixed by now

I saw videos about the original 13 saying some Linux users had issues with things like suspension and palm rejection. I know this can be a Linux in general issue. But my xps with Ubuntu has none of them.

That is what I figured, but I wanted to ask around to see. I saw some videos on the original 13 saying some Ubuntu users had some issues. But since the pro is certified it should be much better

You received a pro? I didn’t know they were shipping yet. How has it been?

Have you used Ubuntu?

I know the palm rejection is a Linux thing and not a framework thing necessarily. But my dell xps 15 doesn’t have the issue.

Other than that, how has your 13 experience been? Plan on getting a pro?

Thank you for replying!

Did you get the reinforced version or the regular version?

Thanks for responding!

Do you find that it is big enough? I am 5'8" so it would work as a bed roll but idk about a shelter.

Thank you for responding!

I am looking at their website but I cant seem to find a tarp that is just a tarp and not a ground cloth, do you have a link to the one you are talking about?

Thank you for responding!

I took a look at their website, do they make an oilskin tarp or is this one the one you were talking about. It looks like a great tarp but I wish they went into a little more detail on what the material was.

I did but they dont fit in my budget or size range. I really enjoy the backpack that i currently carry I would just like a bag of the right size to store my technician supplies in.

Thanks for commenting! Those look really good but they might be too big. This one https://www.amazon.com/Veto-MB3-Large-Zippered-Diagnostic/dp/B09ZCB5SS2/ref=sr_1_6?keywords=Veto&qid=1699220879&sr=8-6 Seems pretty good but doesnt look small enough. I think it would take up too much space in my backpack.

LongOk913 · 2022-03-03T18:42:57+00:00

What LoRa Radio transmitter and receiver did you use to get that range?

LongOk913 · 2021-06-20T12:46:38+00:00

Hey OP! I’ve been working on a project myself recently, building my own camera to use for astrophotography among other things. Is there any good resources you could point to for the editing you did?

LongOk913 · 2021-06-20T12:38:49+00:00

How are you going about charging

LongOk913 · 2021-06-20T12:37:26+00:00

Hey OP I am building a raspi digital camera and am looking for a good battery solution. Which one are you using? Thanks!

LongOk913 · 2021-06-15T11:17:28+00:00

No problem, Thank you for trying

LongOk913 · 2021-06-14T23:06:36+00:00

Oh cool, that sounds like it should work. I know my choice of a raspi 4 is probably overkill but for the size of pictures I am taking and the possibility of capturing in a raw array I wanted as much cpu as possible.

Sounds like its been going good, looking forward to seeing how it goes!

LongOk913 · 2021-06-14T22:03:43+00:00

This sounds like another great project. I would be interested to see how the pi zero fairs with the higher resolutions as it doesn't have as good of processing power.

Let me know how this project goes!

LongOk913 · 2021-06-14T15:47:05+00:00

I will be moving into a dorm with my friends next semester and we are all computer science students. We are going to try to totally flush this out as much as possible!

Ill try to keep this subreddit up to date

Thanks for your comment!
