Framework 13 AMD DIY Unboxing / Installing Linux

The world's best Linux unboxing with the new Framework 13 AMD version (specced with the 7840U, 64GB of DDR5 5600, 2TB NVME).
Parts in the review:
CORSAIR Vengeance DDR5 (w/ XMP 3.0): amzn.to/3WebiEN
Western Digital Gen4 SN850X 2TB NVME: amzn.to/3W3NraH

Thanks for this video. Great Linux compatible device. And this channel definitely deserves many more subscribes!

It feels solid & I enjoy using mine, running Fedora 40! 😄

Whoa, 29 likes on the video already! This was a nice show, more on the install part, less on benchmarks and tests. I can't wait for Framework to ship with Intel's 15 gen. Both Arrow Lake and Lunar Lake. I hope Framework will have at least one of them in their models. I can see that they skipped Meteor Lake (aka 14th gen). For me, ideally, I'd have an 18" desktop replacement. With 4 sticks of RAM, hopefully running at 6000 MT/s, but for 128 GB it seems that not even desktop computers can have that. DDR5 is weird. Anyway, I can't wait to see more stuff from Framework. Their Framework 16 seems like it's strunggling a bit, having only AMD option and being quite expensive. But they showed with Framework 13 that they deliver on their promises.

How would you compare it to your Lemur? From a user perspective, feel, performance..

[@LorenzoBettini]

Thank you for the great video! Can you please tell us about the weight and the battery life in general (if you had time experimenting with that)?

[@trza100]

Wow this is really great. I think I am falling for Framework

[@The-Cat]

I think i'd like to see yet another generation of this but with screws securing things together because I hate the idea of parts being so easy to steal... i keep my laptop at work secure with kensington lock when I'm away from lunch or a fire drill forces me to leave my hardware unattended... anyone can enter the building when I'm away so I just like to know my hardware is secure... but I guess its a great laptop for secure locations.

Can Linux read the fan sensors of that Framework machine? It was very long time ago since I had a motherboard that gave fan speed in GKrellm and sensors scripts.

Just wanted to double down on other comments and see if you could give us more details on the battery life and how this laptop compares to something like the Lemur Pro. Thanks.

theb problem - linux is losing ground.

[@Sithhy]

It's currently at an all-time high

Win11 is driving people to Linux like nothing before. 😂
