@FireTower @otter I have 2 USB-A adaptors, because I use an external CD drive with additional USB-A cable to deliver power. Same for the external DVD drive.

I also have a 2nd (spare) USB-C in my bag if I need it, or in case one gets damaged.

@Darkbug Are you having any success with the midplate?

@Darkbug @Feeee23 My FW13 is happy on 22.04 LTS, and 24 is too recent for me. After getting bitten by (what looks like) an optimisation bug with gcc -O3 in Fedora 40, I’m back on Ubuntu, and holding back with 22.04 LTS for a while longer :-)

@kancept @bitwolf You want a reason?

It’s beautiful :-)

I saved hard to buy a Framework 13, because it does everything I want, and because I have “right to repair” issues.

My friend at work is an Apple addict (never buys anything else), saw me booting Fedora on my FW 13 and said “Wow that’s beautiful. Can I have a go?”.

@OsrsNeedsF2P Or French, or Dutch.

@OsrsNeedsF2P Again, in English please…

@redd Fedora 39 here on an Intel FW13. It’s my first Linux-only hardware and I only run Windoze (in a Boxes VM) for one application.

No regrets.

Minor niggles only, one of them probably caused by me being hasty. It has never failed to do my usual (edit/compile/debug)

I never got VMware networking right (possibly due to lack of experience with VMware), so I stick with Boxes.

And I installed Win10 on a spare SSD, just to set up the fingerprint sensor. I’ve not booted that SSD since then.

@lemmytellyousomething I got the FW 13 DIY with a small SSD, then upgraded to 4TB from somewhere else.

@sarmale @mineapple The only change I’d like to see is replaceable key caps on the FW13, so I can have a penguin (Tux) instead of a ‘Windows’ key.

For now I use a penguin sticker :-)

@sarmale @mineapple

Why is the US <Enter> so small? ;-)

Several countries have <Enter> taller, and wider at the top.

My UK keyboard is the same, and I’m probably too old to adapt to a smaller <Enter> and having the | \ @ ~ and # in (what I see as) the wrong places :-)

@framework I’ve just had a reply to my support ticket confirming it’s been escalated to their logistics team.

Maybe now I’ll get some info :-)

I hope it’s insured for this!
