I'm actually speechless that power management on Linux is exactly where it was 10 years ago. It's like I never left. If you want better than windows battery life you need a minimal arch install with powertop and the most important part, properly enabled hardware acceleration. I did the same test on one of my backup laptops and arch beat out windows by a good 5%.

battery life on Linux isn't bad due to the efficiency of the distro it's bad across the board due to no distro enabling hibernation by default. this mean even when the laptop is asleep everything is turned off or in power saving mode except the ram. and if you do enable hibernation by default you have to partition an amount of storage that is equivalent to the max capacity of your ram and can't be used for anything else. but considering most tasks on a laptop don't require more than 16gb of ram and battery life i very important it really should be enabled by default or at least have an option to enable it in the install wizard.

An operating system should get out of the way and be hardly noticeable (basically just there to run apps) I'm glad you're on linux, but I don't think you really grok it. There should be no surprise. The shock is that operating systems became anything other than free. You wouldn't be surprised that a keyboard comes with a laptop, right? Is it surprising your keyboard comes without ads?

I started with Mint, then went to elementary, then to Ubuntu, then to Manjaro. I'm currently on Manjaro. I can handle a little terminal stuff, but I'm largely inexperienced. In fact I think I messed up the OS after mistyping a boot script. I had to reinstall the whole thing. I'm wondering where I can learn more about Linux, like is there some course I can take or some free resource online.

My personal experience with different distros, over the past week, has been a ride. I am running the Dell XPS 9710 / 17 with plenty of everything. Long time Windows and MacOS user. I did fumble around, in the past, with different distributions like Fedora, Kbuntu, RedHat and the kids on the block are intriguing. I started with Fedora35 because I knew Ubuntu would run as Dell delivers their systems with this version, maybe not 21.10 but hey, gotta drive the latest and greatest. I loved the zen of Manjaro, a distro used at my work by the developers. It has a lot going for it I find. Long story short I erased Windows 11 and am now running Ubuntu 21.10. This is not going to be a forever distro but it runs super stable. Installed the latest nVidia drivers (495) and had a hard time getting bluetooth headsets that are not the average logitech and such to work (I have beats solo 3 because my history with MacOS). Bluetooth is somewhat of a different animal as the range is not very good, even sitting at my desk the bluetooth keeps cutting out so I am on the hunt for a solution.

CJ, the framework marketplace has launched...can you show everyone a tour of it. i think we all will like your thoughts on it.

Ok video, showing how to move around and how thing works in Framework laptop which I'm interested too, but about fprint reader and logging into Desktop Environment is something I would say more, just like when you log in to DE you're using DM (display manager) and for example in manjaro which use XFCE it uses LighDM and this thing about login with fingerprint it's not in manjaro but in LightDM.

I wish that this had come out 15 hour ago! I got ubuntu working but with the mentioned headache because I stared with a kernal version 5.14 ... which also has some problems - and I wanted something that worked out of the box. I eventually landed on fedora 35 ... which is in beta

I appreciate the hard work you put into your videos. When I started using linux back in 2017 I found that Mint OS always worked out of box for my new desktop or 11 year old laptop. Hope you will find some time to review Mint on framework laptop.

Garuda kde please, also thank you for the amazing video, very educational and helps a lot, non expert linux like me to have some kind of perspective , Linux aint that hard as people tend to tell others, i believed those in the past, and tried linux half hearted, and never bothered with it again, but just gave it a tey recently and even with terminal things its very easy specially when you have so much already documented on communities and forums, well not very beginners(windows and mac) users friendly, but for those who really want to give a try and learn it, its very straightforward, just follow instructions and do some research in case its needed,most things already work out of the box these days.

This is very helpful but one important thing you missed is fractional scaling of the display. Which distro supported this the best? Look how huge everything is on 2x…
@ElevatedSystems 2 жыл бұрын
Some of the distros I tested don't have fractional scaling enabled so I didn't want to add one more "technicality" to the mix and scare away potential Linux converts. The goal was bieng able to see what you were doing in the screen. I'll go deeper into scale with my Ubuntu video.

I can't speak for every distro, but on Zorin you have to enable fractional scaling, and then it introduces screen tearing with any motion on screen. It does correctly size things though. My preferred fix for that is modifying text scaling and manually setting the height of the taskbar a little bigger, so that fractional scaling isn't really necessary.

Fyi, the GUI fingerprint reader is the same in Manjaro as fedora if you get the gnome version. Gestures too. Idk why they put xfce first, it's kinda crap relative to gnome 41+.

I noticed you had very little trouble booting into Linux while running Windows 11. I thought the Secure Boot requirement in the UEFI would cause problems for folks looking to dual boot with Windows 11. I'm curious, would Windows 11 boot alright with Secure Boot off, or would you need to re-enable it each time you switch back to Windows? I am used to a simple boot list, without needing to open the full UEFI menu. Is that possible anymore?

I think the diff from the benchmarks is because of the diff DE’s you used. Some of them are more heavy than the others.

Fedora for the win! Fedora just keeps getting better and better, faster than other distros! And the core ethos is just far superior than canonical :)))

The choice for me really is do I want to install pop os and go through the pain of getting the fingerprint sensor to work? Or install fedora and grab the pop shell from the repo? I really like cosmic

Huh. I rarely see Endeavour OS get brought up in these sorts of videos, so that's interesting.

Coming back to this video, could you please show scaling at 150%, and how linux behaves at that setting? 200% imo looks huge on that 13 inch screen. Thank you in advance.

I'm a fairly experienced Linux user, but I'm still looking here for a double check before I get my framework. While I can probably fix most issues I don't want to have to.

I know this video is for the Linux beginner, but has someone tested gentoo? How good is the cooling? Is it doing thermal throttling after a while of compiling? Also distro do seldom solve hardware problems. They just have different version of the kernel, newer kernels probably solve hardware problems you would have. So instead of hopping distros you could just get a newer kernel for your existing distro.

What do you think about installing win 10 as main os then just using virtualbox for use of kali, ubuntu, tails, etc? Could even buy a 1TB expansion card for all vms.
@ElevatedSystems 2 жыл бұрын
I run several VMs on my main rig however the Framework storage expansion cards have overheating issues that kills performance of any OS running on it.
