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.

Framework announced the Framework 13 Pro including full Linux support right from the beginning.

Some quick information about the Device:

will use Intel Core Ultra 300 (Panther-Lake)
updated Battery Design with (up to) 20h Battery life
custom designed Display Panel with Touch support (keeping the 3:2 aspect ratio)
LPCAMM2 for upgradable/replacable RAM without compromising on Speed/Low Power of LPDDR5X
milled Aluminium Unibody chassis
Full Linux support right from the start (including Firmware update via LVFS, Fingerprint Reader, etc.)
Haptic Touchpad
and all the repairability features Framework is known for

You can watch their YouTube Video for a quick summary:

I was looking for a new laptop to replace my old Lenovo Yoga 370 and initially disregarded the Framework 13 because of some downsides (low Battery Life, bad Camera, etc.) and was looking to go with one of the following devices:

HP Elitebook X g1a
the new Dell XPS 14
Asus Expertbook PM5 G2

or also a MacBook pro. I am using Linux since more then 10 years and never touched MacOS at all. So I was not sure if MacOS would work for me. But this announcement made it easy: It will be a Framework 13 Pro with Intel X7 358H!

i think the good alternative is to get a really fast drive and hibernate everytime you close the lid. Sure it's slower to resume but with ssd that shouldnt be an issue. Or if Framework has 2 drives we can suspend the image to that 2nd drive then use the main drive to boot up off of it.

I was loaned a Macbook at my previous workplace. Didnt really use it much because my work apps do not work on Mac. So it sat on the shelves until the day I left the company (too much toxicity). I only used it once or twice when doing presentations. Anyway, that thing suspened pretty much 10/10. The power save is better too: i closed the lid on Sunday night and next Sunday, when open up the lid the battery was at 95%.

If you have a swap partition setup that's larger than the RAM the Linux will hibernate into it. Trouble is a lot of people don't bother with swap partitions these days.
