Framework - Laptop 13 (Intel 13th Gen)

User Support HCL Reports

Adding a note about the following:

  • brightness hotkeys: this is indeed a libinput/hid_sensor_hub comorbidities as described here [SOLVED-GUIDE] 12th gen not sending XF86MonBrightnessUp / Down - Linux - Framework Community - blacklisting or unloading is the Framework recommended workaround until they probably write their own thing?
  • suspend: kernel reports ACPI PM supports S0 S3 S5, and /sys/power/mem_sleep reports [s2idle] deep - but looks like we were only getting to PM: suspend entry (s2idle). Used the suggested mem_sleep_default=deep nvme.noacpi=1 to get to PM: suspend entry (deep).

I didn’t use rd.qubes.hide_all_usb, opting with a qubes.InputKeyboard policy as previously mentioned.

I don’t believe these issues are blockers for nominating Framework 13" Intel laptops as community-recommended computers. Going through the criteria for inclusion:

  • Qubes installer works without any workarounds.
  • Graphics, wireless networking, and audio work out of the box (other than new users learning to attach the mic to a qube of choice).
  • 16 GB is possible, prebuilts come in 16 and 32G configs, DIY orders get you 64G.
  • Keyboard and touchpad are connected via PS/2 even though this is a laptop. The touchpad is also enumerated over i2c.
  • The device is readily available to be purchased. I’ve ordered 4 Framework 13s so far, and in every case I have pushed button received bacon received laptop stateside dropshipped from Taiwan in 3 days or less.

Looking forward to additional reports which would be the final barrier to add to the community-recommended list.
