Linux experience with FW 13 AMD with 64GB of RAM? (alien.top)

Just wanted to see people's experience since there was that fairly recent kernel patch to fix some issues with having 64GB with the new AMD processors.

I figured others would appreciate some data points from anyone who has this config at the moment. So we can make the right choices when our machines come in the mail.

Maybe some relevant points are distro + version/kernel version and RAM vendor being used? Any other relevant info you guys think would help would be extremely useful!

Hi there. Framework 13 AMD Ryzen 5 7640u user here. I have

Distro: Linux Mint 21.1 Cinnamon
Kernel: '6.1.0.1023-oem-oem'

Why that kernel? Because I saw that as a recommendation on the forums.

I'm using Crucial RAM CT2K32G56C46S5 which is 2x 32 GB, 5600 MHz and CL46.

What do you want to know 😀

Everything stable for you I'm assuming?

Yeah no troubles so far. I did prepare my SSD months in advance and just chucked it into the laptop without much trouble. It was a clean install of both OS but it could have been cleaner. I did grab the drivers after putting the SSD in the laptop.

Haven't updated the BIOS yet so as a batch 1 user I might be behind on that.

You might also be interested in the benchmarks I did so far. You can find those here.
