It looks like they've upgrade this keyboard layout since your video. I checked Internet Time Machine back 2 months ago and it has the old layout, but the website has a newer one.

Why does the keyboard on the website show a totally different layout for the up and down keys than this video? Did they update it recently?

99.9% every update on Fedora you have to restart. It's annoying

So, new version of Ubuntu has bugs. Wait for next version, got it.

i like the keyboard except the right shift please make that big.

I wanted to spec out a system76 with 48GB and a high end intel Ultra. But no way I’m doing that when it has a PLASTIC chassis

that keyboard is wild

I really enjoy your videos a lot more than a lot of others. You don’t sit there and inject a ton of opinions you just show us what’s happening.

This wideo show Fedora os better. Ubuntu is.. BUGbuntu.

Lemur, like the animal. Lol, but I like that you made it fancy French. :D

LMDE for me pls😊

I was enjoying Fedora 39 since the start of the year, when I tried upgrading to 40, it blew up in my face. My install became unusable. Fortunately I had everything backed up. Now I'm on Zorin, it's ok.

I pick Fedora 40 instead of ubuntu , don't like Snap

that is the only Linux laptop for beginner friendly?

Major difference between the two is Ubuntu is for newbies while Fedora requires some Linux knowledge and the only common thing between them is the Gnome Desktop.

I'd go with Ubuntu because technically they do Gnome the best with their accent color choices, sane defaults, extra features and their exclusive triple buffering vsync support that makes it a buttery smooth vsynced experience. Gnome with triple buffering can be a stuttery and low framerate mess, especially on low-end hardware, not so on Ubuntu though. Ubuntu is also easier when installing proprietary drivers, because it gets done automatically during the installation - or - post installation via two or three clicks. Ubuntu has more options enabled within Gnome too, whether that's app indicators or an actual taskbar that can be configured to your desire. I could go on and on - it's the small details that make it superior. In addition, I don't like how Red Hat has spoken about open source and how they actually feel about it in the past.

I also can't install it... it just hangs at some early point when copying files. So I tried Kubuntu instead and it just shows a background and nothing happens.

kzfaq.infomy--xIXP9_E where is the problem with install ?

Awesome Video! Thanks so much just what I was looking for. I tired Mineos but I couldn't get it to work. Once I found itzg/minecraft-server this video popped up. Thanks again!

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.

Replace snap with flatpak.

I'd never comparison a main distro with a based on distro.

I had Fedora 39 running with no issues on an older Dell PC, upgraded to 40 and would not even boot. Made USB stick and DVD from ISO -- could not install 40. So now tried newer machine (purchased within last year) -- installed with no issuer and performs perfectly, really like Workstation 40. If you try to install on older machine, we aware.

Desperate for a European distributor! Please System 76 if you are reading consider finding a distributor in mainland Europe. Our office would purchase several units (Looking at the Adder). For us in Portugal Customs would murder delivery. Making it totally unfeasible.

i want to switch from windows to fedora. as for daily tasks I am a student so i mainly use office however i do want to learn coding in a few days, so can someone tell me should i switch to the new fedora.btw i have never used a linux operating system

idk why system 76 designed the arrow keys to look so fucking retarded

Man it's always snaps ruining Ubuntu's experience... sudo apt purge snapd

Neither can do fractional scaling properly. Multiple monitors - don't bother. The Fedora KDE 6 version is perfect.

I tried both and ended up with Linux Mint

I have a few things to pick, though overall I agree with the conclusion: - laptop comparisons - if they are different design (aka, not the same brand, and same chassis, and motherboard design, same cooler design etc) make things very unfair, when the context is "Intel vs AMD" and not "Laptop A vs Laptop B" - one consequence of the above - how do you know that the AMD one consumes less power ? 7840U has 28W as default TDP, while Intel one has 15W. While on this, power draw and TDP are not the same thing. You can still be at 30W TDP while drawing 60W, if you, say, draw that 60W only for several seconds. Regardless, you can see quite some difference even on the same type of CPU because of how the manufacturer configured the laptop & BIOS and the cooling. This, unfortunately, kills the ability to make fair, correct statements about performance and battery life (not just for this review, but in general). Because there are absolutely bad designs in the wild, where one can be both hotter, and with a worse performance, even worse battery life, all at the same time! Using the same chip. And not by 1-5%! - it was mentioned, but I want to add it too, to detail why it's a downside: the 8+48 GB RAM of the Intel system most likely is at a disadvantage. First, it says that it's at 4800 MHz (which, correctly is 4800 MT/s) which is most likely lower than what the Framework has. And that dual channel... well, I think that DOES matter. Unless both systems have 8+8 GB of RAM, but even then, the Intel one has a soldered 8 GB for which clearly you cannot get an identical stick of 8 GB, that is, with the same timings. And the speedometer and Factorio and compile tests, I think all benefit quite well from better memory performance. - Factorio as a gaming benchmark ... is a weak benchmark, especially how it was shown here. First of all, it's 2D. So you're basically just comparing CPU performance, not the GPU/iGPU. Secondly, Factorio is a very well optimized game (check out their Friday Factorio Facts for a lot of interesting details on how they developed the game) that's been out for several years already. To run well on new CPUs is kind of a given. Third, a new map, even a wave defense one, is low load. Not to mention that generating a new map, not using the same one, is also not very ... uhm ... scientific. For this to be more useful, a save game where there is a BIG factory should be used. It would be the same on both systems, eliminating that problem. And it would have real load. When I say big, I mean factories that can automatically generate the endgame "item" - the rocket launch. Also, not sure if it fully matters, using the maximum zoom level should also increase the load, for GPU too (well, more like GPU memory, I think). Lastly, I don't remember them, but factorio has a command or option where you can see performance stats, which should be more useful than the simple FPS. Especially since Factorio (which is more a simulation) uses internally UPS, that is, updates per second, which show the true performance. Laptop reviews are hard. I recommend to always take the power draw (that is, plot the power draw ever 100-1000ms or so), as with that you can see much better how much is the chip performance vs the laptop design. Haven't checked with the tools in Linux that can offer that. You can also simply have them unplugged and check with a smart plug or a meter. But that also introduces a lot of laptop design variance. One might transform 40W into 30W of usable chip power, while another might be able to only do 25W. And 5W at this level matters a lot.

Really interesting video - many thanks 🙏

There are still 10+ years old bugs with Ubuntu 24.04 which would be important to fix but instead they release new s**t before fixing old issues. What is wrong with Canonical?

Hi. how to make ubuntu with desktop enlightenment? is there an iso ready to use on the starter pendrive?

Crafty Controller is really cool too and easy to install, and it allows you to create more Minecraft servers on the same machine!

I am trying to chose between these two laptops right now! Both seem to have great specs for what I am looking for. Does either of them "feel" more premium? I am coming from an XPS 9300 Developer Edition and have been impressed by the build quality of that machine over the last four years but am interested in the power efficiency of the AMD chip on Framework 13 or the dedicated linux support from System76.

You mentioned the E and P cores but one thing you could have highlighted is that this is the U category of Intel which is rated for 15W. The AMD says 28W I believe so it's basically battery life vs performance tradeoff and Lemur is design for maximum battery life.

ubuntu looks more polished

I’m interested seeing the reprogrammable keyboard. And coreboot?? Looks great. I’d like to know if OpenBSD runs on it

Great video, I’m a total nube. After using Windows for most of my life this is mind blowing. Thank you for sharing your wisdom and knowledge.

What a neat way of using Docker to play an amazing game with your friends... can't believe I never thought of checking for a readily available Docker image... great video! I used to create/host my servers with "screen" and later on with systemd services, but this seems likes a way more maintainable approach that makes the moderation of the servers nice and easy. Thanks to you I found yet another great way of using Docker in my day to day! Thanks for the amazing tutorial, looking forward to trying i out myself! 😎🥸

This is the most incredible video I've ever seen in my life! Because I love virtual machines, I love Linux, I love Docker and Kubernetes, I love Minecraft! And I love your channel forever! You made me happy in this world happy FOREVER! Thank you so much! You're AWESOME!!! You show everything, you explain everything, you show every important moments during installation. I do not know what to tell you. I have no words! You are incredible!

Can remap the keys? Otherwise completely asinine doing arrow keys like that.

With Arch Linux being a rolling release, it should work great with such devices. I use RichARCH btw. With it I was able to get Arch Linux up and running simply and quickly with kickstart like automation features.

This has to be the best video I have seen! The composition is excellent as well as the editing and the steps themselves. LinuxBTW has to be the pinnacle of epicness!

Test says AMD is absurdly faster, reviewer makes it sound like a tie. Shame.

For such a direct comparison you have many things going wrong. Somehow my wifey's notebook, Zenbook 14 on 155H has much better results, myself I am on EliteBook 7840U, both on 32GB. You should, for starters, mention what kernel you are running, with which governors/p-states, which distro with which X-server. Your mention of "balanced" does not mention balanced for what specifically? 7840U is hands down better on performance/power(W), but doesn't mean will give you better battery life (again depending on which notebook and battery capacity).

Ubuntu is s.hit. Period.

Does Fedora still require a separate /boot partition when I dual boot windows? First time I tried to manually set up partitions it does not allow me to use just a /boot/efi partition

Snap updates is still buggy since Ubuntu 22.04.xx. And it’s not user friendly ever since. I couldn’t remember if I upload it on my channel. Until now Ubuntu 24.04 they still didn’t fix the snap update problem. You have to search the web and use the terminal. And finally decided to use Edubuntu 23.10 (the return) and currently uses the 24.04.

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)?
