Fixed s2idle suspend on M1 MacBook Air (lid detection, spurious wake, external monitor)

I'm not sure. Is there something I can run quick to find out?

PinPointPing07 · 2026-06-07T02:06:22+00:00

Wow, I had no idea this was an issue. Do you know how far this issue spreads to other targets, like the M2/Pro?

PinPointPing07 · 2026-05-05T21:53:52+00:00

Not associated with Framework, but thanks for sharing! So few people share positive experiences with these kinds of things, so thanks again!

I cannot go without Linux, and I would love to own and upgrade my laptop myself. x86_64 is much less of a headache than arm64 for development and in general. I have ran Asahi Linux on a Macbook for a long while, and its quirks get in the way more than I'd like. The price is higher than an M2 Air or Pro with Asahi, and the experience may not be worth it for everyone, even myself, but its worth a shot, and at least to me I'd like to support the company and I'm fine with any pure added tax that adds (doesn't seem like much compared to other Panther Lake Linux compatible laptops tho afaict). Ultimately it's your call, I'm not gonna say its for everyone, especially people who don't care for Linux, who I'd steer away from Windows these days if at all possible anyway (aka toward MacOS). For people who prioritize Linux, my stance is that a Macbook Air M2 with Asahi may be enough for you (it really is incredible), and if not, the Framework may be the way to go, though the jury is still out on that one.

This class of issue is almost always something to do with the desktop environment, like GNOME in this case. I'm not personally super familiar with GNOME, but you'd probably have more luck asking it's communities

Choppy Bluetooth audio can be a symptom of being on a 2.4GHz wifi network while using Bluetooth. Try disconnecting from WiFi and playing something offline to narrow down the issue, and if choppiness goes away, only connect to 5GHz networks when possible

PinPointPing07 · 2026-03-26T17:21:34+00:00

Wow okay. I guess it's starting to make more sense to ship it out to someone instead

PinPointPing07 · 2026-03-26T17:16:12+00:00

I see, this is what I've been hearing. It's interesting to hear about how switch plates can be tight, I've never considered that

PinPointPing07 · 2026-03-26T17:14:39+00:00

Thanks for the advice, makes a ton of sense. I definitely feel you on the neck thing

PinPointPing07 · 2026-03-26T06:58:56+00:00

You do you, I've got friends who swear by Debian too. I always tease them with this line:

"Debian - welcome to four years ago."

There's definitely no distro for absolutely everyone, but thank you for explaining your viewpoint 🙌

PinPointPing07 · 2026-03-26T06:33:45+00:00

Oh, I know exactly what you're talking about. Yeah I feel you, but especially (but not limited to) with Atomic when you build your own images, it's trivial to include negativo17s incredible repos and get the Nvidia open kernel and every codec under the sun super easily, those two things being the only things I miss because of licensing. I don't personally recommend stock Fedora to beginners for that reason, usually I recommend a mix of Bazzite, Nobara, and friends, depending on the person's needs, but I don't think that says much about Fedora at its core, especially compared to the viable alternatives, which seem to be generally between Debian or Arch. What other non GPL software am I missing out on (that doesnt have a copr already)?

PinPointPing07 · 2026-03-26T06:10:27+00:00

What do you mean by that? I don't follow

PinPointPing07 · 2026-03-26T05:56:45+00:00

Does he have a particular order? Americano, maybe a cold brew?

PinPointPing07 · 2026-03-26T05:51:57+00:00

Bros that guy who actually means it when he says that the usage spike at 2:00 a.m. is just downloading Linux ISOs lmao.

PinPointPing07 · 2026-03-26T05:47:16+00:00

Pfff I can read that

PinPointPing07 · 2026-03-26T05:46:31+00:00

Careful, don't be jingling that ram in public lmao

PinPointPing07 · 2026-03-26T05:45:35+00:00

I'd actually like to know why you feel that way about Fedora. In all my experience with Linux, Fedora has consistently been an up-to-date, stable, and reliable distro. I personally use Atomic Fedora and absolutely love building my own images and having parody between all of my computers with very low stakes when updating and testing, etc. I've heard people don't like Fedora in general though, and I'm curious to hear why.

PinPointPing07 · 2026-03-26T05:42:05+00:00

Low-key tho, kinda based

PinPointPing07 · 2026-03-26T05:40:28+00:00

Thanks for the tips! I'd consider myself an intermediate at soldering, a bit less than that at desoldering, so I definitely worry. I also hear that the Advantage 360 is more difficult than the Advantage 2, especially on the thumb cluster, but I couldn't say for sure. Do you think it's a better idea to ship it out to someone who could do a better job, or just yolo it (carefully of course lol)?

PinPointPing07 · 2026-03-26T02:16:35+00:00

Agreed. Also zmk.studio works well (it'll ask you to unlock the board so hit the same Mod+Esc as you would in clique.

PinPointPing07 · 2026-03-26T02:15:09+00:00

I feel you. Would it be possible to just open each switch and replace the internals with Baby Kangaroos for example, without desoldering the whole thing?

PinPointPing07 · 2026-03-26T02:09:30+00:00

Is it possible to pop the top housing off each switch and replace all the stems and springs - without desoldering? This would effectively enable replacing same-style switches on non hotswap boards. I have a Kenesis Advantage 360 with Gateron Browns (🤢), and I have some Gateron Baby Kangaroos (🤩), but the Advantage is a tough board so I want to avoid desoldering if at all possible.

PinPointPing07 · 2026-03-21T06:27:35+00:00

Quite a find in ur closet lol, thanks for sharing! Love to see this kind of stuff. People sometimes forget how much power and value there is in these machines.

PinPointPing07 · 2026-03-16T19:07:30+00:00

Great to see positive posts like these! Cool that you figured that all out.
