From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I have been using a Framework 13 (12th gen intel) since April and I love it. The only complaint is the battery life (5-8 hours of software development with JetBrains IDEs), but in terms of hardware performance, it's fantastic.
jetbrains ides are very heavy, 5-8 hours is pretty good
The 61W battery helps a bit. If I'm compiling binaries locally all day, it certainly tanks.
I also have a framework 13. It has been great! I run the latest fedora and everything works great out of the box.
My only annoyance is fedora disable hibernate by default and now that s2idle is the default instead of s3, too much battery is used while sleeping. That said, it isn’t difficult to enable s3 and hibernate.
Did they finally fix the phantom drain from the expansion cards during sleep? I had one of the original batch and wound up trading it in because I couldn't actually use it effectively untethered.
I think the fix for the phantom drain came with the newest refresh (gen 3); I don't notice a rapid drain when I sleep mine, though because I use the 'deep sleep' workaround.
I use s3 deep sleep which then hibernates after and hour. Works great for me as I don’t do work on my personal laptop so I’m only using it on evenings and weekends.
Gotcha- thank you! Glad to hear they've figured it out, I love what FW is doing and would love to get back to them. Appreciate the update! !)
