They chose to intertwine the “How to install Ubuntu” with the amd instructions as red footnotes under 2 steps. How to setup 7040 series boards on Ubuntu
The Install guide is a bit janky in my opinion. I have already seen members in their official form miss steps because these red footnotes are nested in other guides.
They should make a single document for post install of Ubuntu + Fedora that has all of these things, instead of so many nested steps on generic guides covering all of their laptop versions. The only real knock I can give framework on all of this, is having so many fixes in so many places. I really love what framework is doing, and a lot of these problems aren’t on them, its AMD + Linux for some of my gripes, and some are just on me. I tried to write down every random problem I ran into just to share with others who are looking to get into this new piece of hardware.
This will be a few of my thoughts and struggles as I’ve gotten it setup the past few nights, and what my overall feelings are.Ī quick note, this might sound like a super long rant.
7 months ago I pre-ordered the very laptop I am writing this article on.Ī few days ago, it finally came in the mail.
