I'm curious to see what the AMD mainboard and the newer Intel boards are like, but with Linux 6.10 on an 11th-gen Intel Framework 13 battery life is 4-5 hours and sleep drains the battery completely in 1-2 days even after switching from s2idle to deep sleep. I have not tried setting up hibernation.

The trackpad is pretty good, hardware support is excellent. It boots so fast (about 20 seconds to Plasma desktop) that my solution for the shit sleep behavior is to just shut it down when I remember to.

My use is a mix (about 50/50) of laptop use, typically plugged in, and desktop use with a 4k monitor and Dell USB-C dock.

Build quality (robustness, general feeling of rigidity, quality) is lacking compared to a MacBook (pro or air).

I've seen it and I hope these folks succeed, but I've read various threads on this forum and elsewhere that suggest that sleep and battery-life are still serious issues on these machines.
Get a ThinkPad, or a Dell. Anecdotal but two friends bought Framework laptops and returned them.
