@@milk_bath Keyboard feels good. I used to work specifically on Lenovo Thinkpads and Carbons and whatnot, and so far my Framework keyboard feels so much better. Keys are soft but grippy, the travel is perfect imo. It took me second to get used to but its my favorite laptop keyboard currently.
I think in terms of attracting the same audience that would buy thinkpads if they weren't garbage, however, from any era, frameworks and thinkpads are very different animals. Thinkpads were never intended to be user servicable and IBM used to do technician housecalls if your ThinkPad ever broke, which is something framework will never offer (not that we want them to) The industrial design is completely different too, Framework obviously going for the apple-esque styling with the aluminum chassis and keyboard style. IBM set their own design language and any pre-lenovo ThinkPad looks dramatically different from a framework. So while I get the sentiment, frameworks really aren't the new thinkpads other than drawing in the same audience.
What I would love to see is if Framework could provide modular trackpad alternatives, like the thinkpad niple or a trackball (for us keyboard-centric users). And man if they could replicate the feel of the IBM switches, obviously avoiding any patent issues, that would be perfection.
systems integration specialist here - switching to linux for my daily computing was the best choice I ever made. It's so much better than anything else and just lets me take control over my own computer.
Haha yup that is true! I got the Fedora hat at the Open Source Summit in Seattle recently thanks to the kind folks at Fedora and the Framework hat is from a team retreat :)
@@zachfeldmanframework I tried installing the LTS version of Ubuntu on a totally new Ryzen laptop, which the installer crashed probably 5 times, then once installed I immediately got a bug report popup. It's rough... Maybe just and AMD issue?
@@nathanfranck5822 that's weird. I've also done a vanilla LTS install on an AMD board and didn't have that issue. It would be hard to tell without looking at logs from your system what exactly is going wrong. Sorry to hear you're experiencing issues though!
Hey guys, Zach here. I'll try to respond to as many comments as I can but thank you so much for the engagement on the video! To address the biggest trend I'm seeing in the comments: yes, I got it wrong, "Wine Is Not an Emulator", but a "Compatibility Layer". I do think in hindsight though that "emulator" is an easier way to explain to non-highly-technical audiences, which this video is sort of aimed at. Anyway, thanks for all the interaction ya'll!
Another W take. While I do think compatibility layer is better name in this case and really not that hard to explain with visual aid. The W lays in thinking about end consumer and understanding that it's an average person doing whatever they do in their life and not a developer. I love it ! I'm one of those folks, the only reason I know a bit about tech is that Microsoft just kept on pushing me away from Windows for a decade now and this year I made the leap finally. My experience through the decade was this Linux just didn't work out of the box 10years ago. I tried to switch but Linux community forced me to stay on Windows because of their attitude towards average user. From their perspective you're not putting enough time to setup your system, which might take 100s of hours therefore F-off... Now Linux works out of the box if you only browser online and do emails switch to Linux mint now ! It's much better experience. If you play video games that's another story, there are thousands of games that work but not all of them and it very hardware depednat. To make it clear if anyone had to pirate games in the past in 2010s somewhere there about when you had to tinker to play the games, , to make them work. It's like that on Linux now there are thousands of games that just work and some need to be tinkered with. If you have time and play only few games like me I'd again say switch to Linux Mint. Now this is a long ramble but for a reason. I have steam deck and just build my AMD PC (Windows killed my laptop - long story). There are games that just work on deck but on my PC I need to tinker to make them work properly , even tho my PC magnitudes more powerful then deck I have fps problems for some reason. So steam deck optimization makes linux much more attractive. Have you guys contacted steam for partnerish ? You are a couple made in heaven. Steam has the scalabilty money , you have the right idea. This is how I see it. If you get partnered framework gets optimized for steam OS, which transfers to Linux in general. That means Linux works out of the box and gaming on Linux works out of the box. Not only that but your old frameworks could be literally transformed into consoles with thousands of games. Graphics have peaked there's no need for more shine I build my PC on am4 architecture which is last gen but IDC because it saved me a lot of money and it still works. If there was such Framework laptop framework for old gen to be used as console and it would work like steam deck, I'd would have bought used Framework instead of building new PC. I bought PC because I'll have to tinker with it and I'd have to tinker with old Framework too, so I build more powerful PC for same price. But if old Framework would've worked out ofn the box I'd buy it because time is more important for me. And now this is another point. Steam clearly would like to enter OS market but they know how complex it is and customer support heavy. But if you enter the picture as partner, well your hardware is streamlined , so it reduces possible problems and is tremendously helpful to find and fix bugs. Not to mention that people that are your "followers" are a bit tech minded and would know what they are getting into , yet again helpful to reduce customer support burden and reduce operational expenses. So I'll ask again , have you approached steam ? Please leek all NDAs :D
yeah but this is a guide aimed at people who aren't familiar with linux. Calling it an emulator makes it easier for people to understand without complicating things.
It looks like you didnt account for the 3:2 aspect ratio of the framework in the capture, and it also looked to be dropping some frames. In what would be a very helpful video to many prospective buyers, these things probably shouldn't be happening. I think its really great hearing from someone not working in the content/PR side of the business, since it helps give a different perspective, but it might have been helpful having someone more experienced in content production validate the recording setup before hand.
i think they're on zoom or something similar? that's my guess considering the compression artifacts. but you're absolutely right, it makes it harder to watch
Today marks the 3rd week that I've migrated from an M1 Max MBP to a Framework Laptop 16 running the KDE spin of Fedora 40 and have been really happy so far. If you use Apple iCloud for e-mail, contacts and calendar, GNOME Evolution has quick and easy support for them, but you will need an app-specific password set up in your Apple ID account. I stood up a Nextcloud instance to provide file syncing between machines in place of either Dropbox or Apple iCloud files. Also a nice thing about the Laptop 16 is QMK/VIA for key re-mapping. I remapped the left Ctrl and Fn keys (and got stickers to label them properly) and the right Ctrl and Alt keys (and carefully switching the key caps).
I really enjoy these videos. They feel right , just folks exolaining stuff with no nonsense, no fancy bloat , just people talking about their work which is machine designed to do the job ! Very utilitarian, very enjoyable and relatable videos. Keep them comming , I won't be able to afford framework for at least two more years, but I'll keep an eye on you guys...
Beware my guy W - wine I - Is N - Not a E - emulator That's the official acronym Ofc course with the fractal reference that foss apps like to do aside, they tag themselves like a translation layer instead of tagging it as an emulator.
I really appreciate the work framework has been putting into Linux, both from the perspective of supporting it on your hardware but also the way I’ve seen your team advocating for it. You all sold me long ago- my next laptop is absolutely going to be a framework- but videos like this do a great job of reinforcing my support. It was a well put together and informative video, even for someone like me who has been daily driving Linux for a while.
Next step: convince companies that they don't NEED to hand out mega expensive (and unrepairable) MBPs. All I really want is the freedom to use my Framework laptop with my OS of choice. I get the job done even faster, since I enjoy the environment much more.
I did the switch to GNU/Linux a couple of years ago and macOS has only gotten worse since then. Currently using openSUSE Tumbleweed with KDE Plasma desktop and I find it the best desktop experience, counting all OSes I currently use (still forced to use Windows and macOS at work for testing our code, yikes).
If you're coming from macOS, *elementaryOS* will feel _very familiar._ It's actually more "OSX" than the bloated mess that's modern macOS 11+. It's gorgeous, minimalistic and _gets out of the way._ It's also "downstream" of Ubuntu while not using snap. Pop_OS!' COSMIC desktop will likely be the solid choice too once it's out (the alpha should be ready in the next few weeks).
I just switched to Framework 13 + Mint-OS, the only downside is that the fingerprint sensor is working, but not integrated in the cinnamon UI :( I have to use the gnome version for this. But tbh, I love the develop experience on the framework.
My guess is it had something to do with “WinE” like “Windows Emulation” but then it’s not technically an emulator so “Wine is not an emulator” happens to fit that
It's unfortunate that enough of the bottom of your screen capture was cut off that the dock was not at all visible while you were talking about it, but great workflow walkthrough :)
Y'all should consider making an ortholinear keyboard layout, this is the only platform that I feel this would work for as ortholinear isn't mainstream, but being able to ditch the staggered layout BECAUSE I can switch out my actual laptop keyboard would be DOPE!
Really cool. I'm not going to be getting rid of my M3 Pro MacBook any time soon, but I'll definitely give putting a Linux distro on a partition on my PC a go again. Gaming is really the only reason I have the thing, and I'd be more than happy to get as much windows out of my life as possible.
You should do a companion video to this one showing how you setup all of the supporting software to make the video. E.g. screen recording, camera, audio etc. I feel like even though the desktop is similar this is the biggest struggle for people switching over.
Framework laptop with Zorin Pro should be the ideal combo for new linux users, as you can instantly set it to mimic any desktop including MacOS, favorite Windows versions, ChromeOS, as well as default and classic Gnome.
I have been using a mac for the last 8 years and while it's served me super well I think its time has come (insert master oogway). I cannot WAIT for frameworks to start shipping to Greece and I mean c'mon guys it's the EU, how hard could it be? I really don't need greek docs or helpdesk I just want to be able to order a machine and parts to an address here.
I don't know if any of the mainstream distros ship with it by default, but in my experience, it works perfectly if you set it up. For fastest results, you need swap the size of your RAM (ouch) in order to avoid compressing everything before writing to disk. Of course, this will end up wearing out your TLC or QLC (shudders) SSD way faster than it normally would. I also think there are some bad interactions with full-disk encryption, which is most likely the reason Ubuntu and the likes shun it.
really hope they can increase the Wh of the battery even more in the future, combined with some more resources on the AMD side for the high battery drain on video playback and we should have a lot more battery life.
@@JoeHoeDoesSomething well probably Snapdragon X support will be the reason for me to buy framework as a second laptop. Currently own Thinkpad on Intel.
Great tip using Firefox to add a signature to a pdf file. I've been using Linux for a year and I didn't know this. Last time I tried with Libre Office Draw, but it messed up the pdf text.
You don't get more secure than Linux. Many encryption options available, less chance of backdoors, you can even run from one of the SSD modules and carry it with you. OpenSnitch is also available.
10:28 photopea can work "locally". You can install it as pwa and it works offline. Idk if it works on linux but you can also associate file extensions to photopea after installing it as pwa (but for example on brave browser filesystem API is disabled by default so you need to change that in browser config)
I’m not really much of a tech guy but I wanted to switch from windows to Linux because I don’t like that my computer gets slower and slower every update. Is there anything I need to know or learn?
I know its a nit pick, and im not sure if anyone will see this but could you put the link to the drivers page on the support tab of the website? I feel it needs to be easier to access instead of having to google for the drivers specifically. Especially as we have a button on the keyboard that takes us directly to the fw website.
Those are called snaps and they aren't slow and inefficient, for what they are. That is, they are on par with flatpak. Initially they used to be pretty slow to start, especially the first time, but that's mostly gone now. Not saying they're identical with flatpaks, but they're fine, like robbiet said. The thing with snaps that annoyed many people is the forced (seemingly) way Canonical put them in Ubuntu, including clearly trying to make everything be a snap. Recently they changed some app, I forgot which one, so that if you use the command "apt install whatever" to actually get it from the apt repository, not the snap version. Adding to this, the snap server-side is closed source and the snaps cannot be configured to use another repository. People into freedom totally don't like that. There's also the upside that you can't have any type of software as a flatpak, but you can as a snap (though there might be exception, I"m not super sure). Services can be snaps, like a full nextcloud installation.
@@Winnetou17 There's also the issue that the snap hosting backend isn't open source, so Canonical is the only one who can officially serve snaps. Also anecdotally, Snaps have not worked as well as many Flatpak counterparts in my experience. I'm sure that may improve in the future but it's gone as far as Valve recommending people not install the Snap version of Steam because they were receiving many bug reports related to the Snap that they had no control over but received the blame for.
You guys really need to bring these in India. Make them in India to get it cheaper, and you get access to the most population market. Apple has started to come here, and I hope you guys come too!
Seems like you guys need a decade to ship to Asia. I'm saving for this but running out patience probably will go for M3 apple as an alternative. Is 2024 is the year or next Atleast mentioned this?
[4:04] My mouth just dropped. This is how you sign a document in America/Canada? It's just a picture! How can any institution accept that? I'll say it wasn't me and no one can prove anything. Here in the EU everything needs to be through eIDAS. It's very interesting however. 😀
Why? You can already do the same thing on any Linux distribution with Steam installed. SteamOS is basically just Steam with Arch Linux and gamescope integration. So what are you waiting for?
also beware, spotify is NOT fully feature on Linux, jams are not supported the last time I checked a couple months ago, I had to join using my phone an then switch to my computer
I have been using macos and linux for ages. They are not the same. The apple eco system is very strong. You have to break this first (in your mind). Linux desktop is nowadays easy to use. Personally I use pop os on my fw16. Only issue is battery life. It isn’t bad. But not good either.

Wine stands for “Wine is Not an Emulator”
This! Wine/Proton is a native Linux implementation of Windows APIs which lets Windows software run natively on Linux. There is no emulation involved.

Yup Okular+Gwenview, quite a nice combination
Im also a RoR dev looking for a new challenge, got a spot?😅 Also will you release a thin and light 15 or 16 inch with a 16:10 / 3:2 display?
I wish I could get a Framework to replace my failing ideapad, but they don't sell them in my country 🙄
How does it work with hibernation when you are closing your laptop? So far it is the most frustrating experience comparing linux and mac.
10:28 photopea can work "locally". You can install it as pwa and it works offline. Idk if it works on linux but you can also associate file extensions to photopea after installing it as pwa (but for example on brave browser filesystem API is disabled by default so you need to change that in browser config)
Oh that's really cool! Love that idea.
I’m not really much of a tech guy but I wanted to switch from windows to Linux because I don’t like that my computer gets slower and slower every update. Is there anything I need to know or learn?
Is there a full height size arrow key?
I know its a nit pick, and im not sure if anyone will see this but could you put the link to the drivers page on the support tab of the website? I feel it needs to be easier to access instead of having to google for the drivers specifically. Especially as we have a button on the keyboard that takes us directly to the fw website.
I didn't go through the many comments yet, but where can we get that wallpaper? (Or any other Framework ones for that matter)
Isn't Ubuntu now krap because of some app wrapper that makes apps launch slow and run inefficient?
It’s not my preference, but it’s fine as far as I’m aware. My co-worker uses it.
Those are called snaps and they aren't slow and inefficient, for what they are. That is, they are on par with flatpak. Initially they used to be pretty slow to start, especially the first time, but that's mostly gone now. Not saying they're identical with flatpaks, but they're fine, like robbiet said.
The thing with snaps that annoyed many people is the forced (seemingly) way Canonical put them in Ubuntu, including clearly trying to make everything be a snap. Recently they changed some app, I forgot which one, so that if you use the command "apt install whatever" to actually get it from the apt repository, not the snap version.
Adding to this, the snap server-side is closed source and the snaps cannot be configured to use another repository. People into freedom totally don't like that.
There's also the upside that you can't have any type of software as a flatpak, but you can as a snap (though there might be exception, I"m not super sure). Services can be snaps, like a full nextcloud installation.
@@Winnetou17 There's also the issue that the snap hosting backend isn't open source, so Canonical is the only one who can officially serve snaps. Also anecdotally, Snaps have not worked as well as many Flatpak counterparts in my experience. I'm sure that may improve in the future but it's gone as far as Valve recommending people not install the Snap version of Steam because they were receiving many bug reports related to the Snap that they had no control over but received the blame for.
I'm seriously thinking about one of these machines. Is it possible to have cpus like Ryzen 7945hx?
Can I see the process of making one of these videos on Linux?
You guys really need to bring these in India. Make them in India to get it cheaper, and you get access to the most population market. Apple has started to come here, and I hope you guys come too!
I appreciate that you say that GIMP is sort of "MS Paint-like program" :) I hate when someone says it is like Photoshop because it isn't :)
Lol right?! Thanks!
Where can I get tashi / tashee? Thank you!
Obligatory ask for Official Arch Linux support as a preinstalled option (will make Arch btw elitists very mad)
You ship to Philippines?
how can I reach out to you guys?
are this selling in Mexico?
Seems like you guys need a decade to ship to Asia. I'm saving for this but running out patience probably will go for M3 apple as an alternative. Is 2024 is the year or next Atleast mentioned this?
Starting a manufacturing factory in Asia will be great. People are looking for such factory.
Day 1 of - Requesting FRAMEWORK to install ORTHOLINEAR keyboards to Framework Laptops
i use arch btw
I would switch to a framework if you sell them in México
Matte black framework please
Man feels like everyone has that JWST image as their desktop background 😂
I briefly worked in Aerospace so I just love images that unite my two passions :)
Yo, get out of my head! I just bought a framework that gonna get here tomorrow to replace my MacBook, wanted to go back to my Linux roots!
Sorry for reading your thoughts! Lol
Okay, but why does the start button have a windows logo? Why not the framework logo?
should recommend krita instead of gimp, more user friendly
why is your desktop view a screen recording of a zoom call screenshare, instead of just recording your desktop... the quality is as bad as a JPEG
[4:04] My mouth just dropped. This is how you sign a document in America/Canada? It's just a picture! How can any institution accept that? I'll say it wasn't me and no one can prove anything. Here in the EU everything needs to be through eIDAS. It's very interesting however. 😀
Well, you could have just create "not my real signature.png" to avoid blurring)
Yo framework team, how is the battery life?
Can you test with VS code, chrome, ruby running a project?
maybe add slack or teams in the background?
POP OS v24.
Didn't just super open the search
Thanks for photopea
POV: you use macOS and Asahi-Ubuntu:
You guys should make your own distro for framework laptops to give competitors against system76 and tuxedo
And why would I exactly switch from Apple Silicon to loud, overheating and low battery running Intel or AMD on a notebook that is without thunderbolt?
Can I cutomize 8945hs amd with nvidia rtx4060 8gb on framework?
as soon as "SteamOS" is complete, i'll never touch windows again
Why? You can already do the same thing on any Linux distribution with Steam installed. SteamOS is basically just Steam with Arch Linux and gamescope integration. So what are you waiting for?
DHH apprentice
also beware, spotify is NOT fully feature on Linux, jams are not supported the last time I checked a couple months ago, I had to join using my phone an then switch to my computer
I use Ubuntu and Spotify keeps nagging me about starting a jam whenever I open my podcast.
I have been using macos and linux for ages. They are not the same. The apple eco system is very strong. You have to break this first (in your mind). Linux desktop is nowadays easy to use. Personally I use pop os on my fw16. Only issue is battery life. It isn’t bad. But not good either.
