Is there device support for Linux?
Looking at the thumbnail, I’m assuming they’re using the guts from a framework laptop: frame.work/linux
Of course, that doesn’t say anything about the display or controls, but it’s a solid maybe.
jevans ⁂It is a framework mainboard. The display is almost certainly connected via displayport on one of the framework usb-c ports, so that should be fine, and I’m pretty sure they mention the game pads are Bluetooth. There should be no issues running Linux on this.
@thejevans @DoomBot5 crazy to think that popos and other Linux distributions don’t run on Framework
A CatThey do? I’ve run everything from Debian to Arch on mine with zero issues.
@Sailor_jets website says different.
My guy, you have zero clue about what you are talking about. Fuck the website. All Linux distros are the same except for the package manager. If Ubuntu works on something then so will pretty much everything else that runs a modern kernel.
What is your point of posting some forum post with zero context as to what I should be reading (I read the whole thing btw)? Some sort of gatcha moment?
Denied. Hardware drivers on Linux are IN THE KERNEL and the appropriate modules for your hardware are loaded at boot while all the other drivers relax in /usr/lib/modules. And wouldn’t you know? Framework laptops all use hardware that has the drivers included with the kernel! such as Intel wifi, Intel & AMD graphics. And it’s done on purpose! Woah!
And just out of spite, here’s my framework laptop running Pop_Os! just fine and dandy.
