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.

hi,

pretty much the subject... I am trying to choose my next laptop and I am tempted to buy a framework 13 AMD. I saw this post from one year ago : https://www.phoronix.com/review/framework-13-amd

and while the review is impressive, comments are not. how things have evolved since then? any experience?

EDIT: you convinced me, I just ordered mine. Thanks for the incredible answers !
NEW EDIT: I use arch (btw), and Gnome. For the answers, I do not think this will pose a problem but... what do you think?
(and yes, I ordered mine before reading last comment of paequ2 who doesn't like it... for reasonable reasons, maybe. I hope I will have more luck ;) )

Yep! The Ryzen 5 7640U. It's never immediately, it generally takes several minutes, maybe just bringing up a Tumblr page with a video and letting it loop for several minutes might hopefully do it, though, I've had a crash when Tumblr wasn't the active tab so you can multitask if you're fine with suddenly getting booted.

Yeah same machine I have. Forgive my ignorance -- I've actually not used Tumblr very much. Could you link me to a page with a looping video? Somehow I'm having trouble finding a non-gif video at the moment.

Hmm, so I left that link above running in an active Firefox tab for about an hour and a half and didn’t see any crashes. I’m wondering again if you may have an obscure hardware issue. Either that or perhaps Fedora recently pushed out an update that fixed that issue. In any case I hope this might help to know. Have a good day!
