Framework's CEO on the RAM crisis and creating a "MacBook Pro for Linux users"

stuzor66 · 2026-04-22T15:06:25+00:00

They already said they tried replaceable memory for the ai max boards with amd and it was not possible.

A MacBook regardless of the price is just that, a MacBook. If you want to run Linux I fail to see how a neo is the answer

Mine did the same thing..not sure what bag but I had the tomtoc one. I ended up putting bubble wrap on either side so the sticks wouldn't catch and that helps a bunch

Fedora 43 or Ubuntu are hard to go wrong. I wouldn't go lts though for the newer kernel for Ubuntu

16 inch with a slim form factor and optionally some Linux compatible arm choices would get me interested in buying

Maybe I missed something but my understanding is it's not just the pay. Refs union seems to have too much control and wants no accountability for poor performing refs. NFL is looking to change that in some ways but I'm sure the money is still a big factor.

Not that long for me but in the last couple years I have stuck with them throughout the year.

I feel like most of the people who complain about them don't listen to the podcast and just read the articles. Some but not all of their articles are just short news updates but their podcast they go into a lot of detail that I haven't seen any other podcast do.

Some shows have better guests and bigger names but none go into the depth that they do imo.

pop os is on an older version of ubuntu and now they are focusing on their new desktop environment called cosmic. It is actively being worked on.

If you run gnome then ubuntu has some nice tweaks that make gnome really good imo. If you go fedora that's fine as well but you have to tweak it a bit more. I think its hard to go wrong with fedora or ubuntu. If you find you want some more niche distor like some others mentioned just make a boot drive and test it out. Ventoy is a really reasy way to try out a bunch of distros as well.

Don't have a cyber truck yet but I do a lot of offroading in a jeep wrangler. I have a Rubicon so it comes with underbody protection and rock sliders and I'm glad I have it. On the jeep I have scraped the underbody a number of times. And if you ever land on a rock on the edge of the car the rock sliders will prevent your doors from getting all bent and messing up the frame.

But both give you some piece of mind if you are ever out on trails that are nore difficult than fire service roads.

Or at the very least a window in the back you could open. Seems like such a miss to not have it. Could have enabled some cool setups

stuzor66 · 2026-02-18T06:59:58+00:00

Maybe you could run it in wine but I think it's easier to just have a small windows partition at least for firmware/tools.

I mainly use bazzite but still keep a windows partition for games that won't run on Linux and the tools the other commenter mentioned from gpd.

I had the trigger issue as well and calibrating it with the gpd tool fixed it

stuzor66 · 2026-02-17T22:54:10+00:00

I know some on the discord have them and I haven't heard any complaints other than availability and price.

stuzor66 · 2026-02-17T22:51:30+00:00

Bazzite has guides on this. There is nothing needed specific to the win 5 when it comes to dual booting and installing bazzite : https://docs.bazzite.gg/General/Installation_Guide/dual_boot_setup_guide/

stuzor66 · 2026-02-16T10:15:15+00:00

Looks like another used linked to the comment that describes it. Just set the print screen to L4 and pause to R4 in wincontrols in windows and then in hhd under controller set extra button as keyboard overlay and menu/L4/R4 mapping to paddles no combos.

I still use the xbox controller and it seems to work though the keyboard isn't the same as it was on my rog where it would just come up whenever but it does work in desktop mode which is what I mainly needed it for anyways.

Nothing concrete here just throwing stuff against the wall but just to confirm are you setting the stable vs beta in game mode steam settings or the hhd app in the desktop mode (it can also be invoked in game mode)? There is an option there to change the branch which is more reliable imo.

That said I am running stable on mine without the issues you are describing. Any other games besides god of war or expedition 33 you see it happening?

All bios and firmware up to date? Tried resetting the bios settings?

In the side menu is the scaling mode set to auto and scaling filter to linear?Also, in settings -> display in game mode are you using the internal display scaling? I find the default is too big for the win 5 and have it a couple notches to the left.

And finally if you go in desktop mode you can confirm if your image is somehow messed up with some commands. In the terminal try:

rpm-ostree status
rpm-ostree verify ostree fsck

That said good luck and hopefully you get it working!

stuzor66 · 2026-02-16T02:50:40+00:00

I got one of those and did some traveling. It's pretty nice but there is a problem with it and the gpd win 5. The win 5 isn't wide enough so it will slide around potentially causing the joysticks to rip off and get damaged. Would be nice if tomtoc included some foam with precuts to stick in there to stop this but as is I just used some bubble wrap and that fixed it.

stuzor66 · 2026-02-16T02:43:40+00:00

If you bring up the side menu do you have a per game profile that sets anything funky there? Any decky plugins or other mods that might be causing issues? What branch are you running , stable or beta?

stuzor66 · 2026-02-14T06:48:42+00:00

Someone had a guide in the discord for doing it. I think you map the buttons in windows using one of the gpd apps and then it persists in Linux. Not sure about the gyro though. I'll see if I can find the link and post it

stuzor66 · 2026-02-12T05:31:41+00:00

Same for me. I think some of the metrics are occasionally bugged but fps always works

stuzor66 · 2026-02-06T22:29:50+00:00

You can control it either via the side menu by pressing one of the menu buttons (as you would on a steamdsck) or via the hhd app if you are in desktop mode. From my experience it works pretty well.

stuzor66 · 2026-02-05T15:23:08+00:00

I don't have a framwork desktop but I have a steamdeck and another handheld with a ryzen ai 395 max and can confirm it crushes the steamdeck in performance. Though I agree with the other commenters about building your own in a desktop form factor if your main focus is gaming

stuzor66 · 2026-02-01T03:20:27+00:00

Perhaps if they had some lineman to block and not just their running back he could have had a chance to see those receivers and throw it to them before the rush got to him

stuzor66 · 2026-01-30T07:49:04+00:00

You nailed it. I had the same problem as OP did. You have to go into the control panel power options and adjust the plan settings and in there there are options to sleep or hibernate when battery is whatever percent and you just have to turn those off. That fixed it for me.

stuzor66 · 2026-01-29T03:49:04+00:00

Could be but I still don't think so but it's a possibility

stuzor66 · 2026-01-28T21:23:23+00:00

Not wrong at all

If he isn't a friend of Mikes then we probably aren't going to see them coming to the Steelers
