    I almost threw my hat in this ring but I must wait on people who use Linux to get ahold of it and review it. Proably an early 2024 buy date for me.

        EDIT: my comment got eaten and I don’t want to type it again.

        TLDR: I had the FW 11 gen and it was not good with Linux when it came to being a laptop. Sleep was fundamentally broken due to hardware issue.

      I was not a huge fan of the Intel Framework, I used mine for a few weeks in January and had substantial issues with their recommended Ubuntu install. Aside from the battery life, I remember regular OS things were breaking pretty much daily. In the end I returned for a hardware issue (it stopped charging).

      Hopefully an AMD core will help at least with battery life, but it seems like Linux users aren’t a primary target. I’m not turned off them forever as I am still conceptually into it, but I’ll wait a bit before trying again.

      they advertise ubuntu compatibility and the hardware has been out a short while now, so odds are it’s going to be just golden.
