I agree the keyboard is excellent. But the trackpad is crappy -- the one blight on this otherwise good laptop, IMO.
Actually, the second issue I have with is the power drain when in sleep mode. Apparently this is fixed on Windows but not Linux. You experience that as well?
It seems utterly normal to me?
Yes, the power drain is sleep mode is abnormal - I've read that the USB ports are to blame, and it will be fixed in upcoming firmware.
I like it less than my Macbook, but more than my Thinkpad. Find it just a bit too sensitive, so I'm always accidentally dragging things when scrolling.
Yes, I can see all of that.
I don't have trouble with it, but I do know what you mean when you say it :-)
2. AFAICT you can't change the scroll speed on Fedora (not sure if that's Framework's fault but still super annoying)
1. Change from s2idle to deep. The tradeoff is slower wakeup times but less power drain when sleeping.
2. Sleep then hibernate. After a certain amount of time (maybe 2hrs), the system will go into hibernation from s2idle. This is nice because there's almost no power drain when the system goes into hibernation, but you can have quick wakeup times when the system is still in s2idle. The tradeoff being, it can be a bit of work to implement and you can't have secure boot/kernel lockdown.

Have you tried a different mouse?
It's the best laptop I've owned.
(I've had a Samsung ATIV book0, and before that a high-end Sony Vaio, both 13 inch).
One thing I must mention in particular : the keyboard is die for.
I had no idea a laptop keyboard could be like this.
I used my Samsung keyboard for many years, perfectly happily - but now I can't use it. It is now so unbelievably flat and lifeless. I am now forever spoiled for lesser keyboards.
I worked on power management, not much work was needed, and I get 11 hours battery life on a 90% charge.
(Basically, use powertop to figure out what processes were using a lot of power (turned out to be Tor and WINE), and then also realise anything plugged into the USB ports took a lot of power, and finally that the powertop power optimization needed to be re-run after a reboot. That got me down to under four watts, but it means no mouse - mouse adds about three watts, which is too much.)
I love the exchangable ports - currently I have 2 USB-C and 2 USB-A, which will in time change to 4 USB-C. I also have an ethernet port, should I need it, and HDMI.
The screen resolution is not 4K, which I had on my Samsung, and thought before I bought it could be a problem, but it simply isn't.
I also love the community. That it's a niche laptop with a highly computer literate community makes it really pleasant.
FYI, I'm running XFCE on Debian.
