Have been keeping half an eye on framework laptops as a potential next daily driver as and when I'm ready for one.

Just wondering what people's experience of using them on linux has been, particularly nixos

I'm assuming all the drivers are in the kernel given the way the company is

Have been using a 2016 thinkpad for the past year or so and have had a decent experience with it, with the way lenovo have gone with their newer thinkpads it seems like framework is now the best for maintainability/upgradability

(not planning to upgrade in the immediate future as this machine is doing fine, but frameworks are a strong contender in my mind right now and I'm curious as to people's experience)

FW 16 on Ubuntu LTS has worked flawlessly for me except the battery drain on sleep is really bad (20% per 24 hours). No crashes or freezes or resume from sleep failures as I've experienced on other laptops with no vendor support.

Does the same apply for hibernation? My current behavior is to hibernate my machine manually before shutting the lid anyway so I don't think that would bother me too much (though it would be nice to have a machine that will suspend properly)

I'm currently using LUKS full disk encryption which can complicate hibernation. There are some community instructions here https://community.frame.work/t/guide-framework-16-hibernate-w-swapfile-setup-on-fedora-40/53080

I just found if you install Debian 12 and make the LVM swap partition the size of RAM, you can finally enable hibernate to encrypted swap without craziness during install. It was a breath of fresh air.

Are you using LUKS full disk encryption? From my experience, LUKS complicates hibernation.

[-] fmstrat@lemmy.nowsci.com 1 points 2 months ago

Yup. LUKS with LVM from the installer. Guided partitioning did try to set swap to 1GB, so I deleted both logical volumes (root and swap) in the guided installer to make swap 16GB. After install it was just like a non-LUKS setup, only having to set RESUME. It was very refreshing consider previous hoops I've jumped through.
