Ubuntu: Ubuntu 22.04.1 LTS
Linux: 5.17.0-051700-generic
The brightness keys isn't a big deal, can still set brightness in the OS. It's probably fixable through some manual keymapping.
Bluetooth is more annoying but I somehow doubt it's a hardware issue. I just ended up getting Sony wireless earbuds to complete my transition away from Apple.
That being said, I also tried to dual boot Windows. Windows really does not like the hardware, and the Framework driver install package (https://knowledgebase.frame.work/en_us/framework-laptop-bios...) had limited effect in fixing the issues. Lots of bugs with audio and graphics.
So, for now I would say it is too premature for Windows, but great for Linux!
A sibling comment shared the fix for the brightness keys, but you can also grab that information from our setup guide for Ubuntu: https://guides.frame.work/Guide/Ubuntu+22.04+LTS+Installatio...

You can enable the hotkey support by blacklisting the hid-sensor-hub driver: vi /etc/modprobe.d/framework-als-blacklist.conf Add the following: blacklist hid-sensor-hub And then restart
It worked, but it needed `hid_sensor_hub` with underscores! and `sudo update-initramfs -u` before the reboot
Thanks for the tip
Some people have been getting hard graphics lockups (seems to be an Intel 12th-gen GPU / GNOME issue that may be affecting more than just the Frameworks). I'm running Sway and have yet to have any lockups over a month and a half of usage, though. Here's the community discussion thread: https://community.frame.work/t/hard-freezing-on-fedora-36-wi...
* Getting out of sleep (deep RAM sleep, not hibernate)
* Handling password/fingerprint authentication once out of sleep
* Wifi rescan frequency
* Occasionally, plugging/unplugging external screens
And I've got no idea why. Once woken up and plugged to whatever I need to use, it's a really good laptop.
After they hit a supply line issue earlier this year, I decided to try getting a Framework instead.
Been using my Framework laptop for a month or so now consistently for heavy programming work, and it is the best machine I've ever had. Thank you! It also was the catalyst to get me into using Linux (Ubuntu) which has been a huge blessing beyond what I expected.
I posted a photo of myself at a coffee shop to a Discord group, and someone saw the corner of the laptop. They asked "Is that a Macbook I see?" and I explained to them "Nah it's a Framework" and shared the link. Didn't really expect much beyond that, but actually they loved it. Several people looked at it and said "Wow! This sounds amazing! Actually... going to save this for later..."
