@FireTower@otter I have 2 USB-A adaptors, because I use an external CD drive with additional USB-A cable to deliver power. Same for the external DVD drive.
I also have a 2nd (spare) USB-C in my bag if I need it, or in case one gets damaged.
@Darkbug@Feeee23 My FW13 is happy on 22.04 LTS, and 24 is too recent for me. After getting bitten by (what looks like) an optimisation bug with gcc -O3 in Fedora 40, I'm back on Ubuntu, and holding back with 22.04 LTS for a while longer :-)
@Contramuffin I decided to give it a go, and downloaded Workstation bundle and ran it. Installed OK, but running VMware it needs kernel-headers-6.5.10-300.fc39.x86_64 and I can't find that anywhere, so I guess it's a bit soon for Fedora 39 :-)
Today, FedEx said the parcel was still stuck in customs, then 20 mins later someone who said he is a neighbour brought it around on foot, saying it was delivered to his pkace 2 days ago.
@fox2263 @umbrella I'm glad they are up in arms, and I would have been too, if I'd known.
But there's an old saying "The enemy of my enemy is my friend". In the bigger (long term) fight, Framework is on my side.

@OsrsNeedsF2P Or French, or Dutch.
@OsrsNeedsF2P Again, in English please...
@redd Fedora 39 here on an Intel FW13. It's my first Linux-only hardware and I only run Windoze (in a Boxes VM) for one application.
No regrets.
Minor niggles only, one of them probably caused by me being hasty. It has never failed to do my usual (edit/compile/debug)
I never got VMware networking right (possibly due to lack of experience with VMware), so I stick with Boxes.
And I installed Win10 on a spare SSD, just to set up the fingerprint sensor. I've not booted that SSD since then.
@lemmytellyousomething I got the FW 13 DIY with a small SSD, then upgraded to 4TB from somewhere else.
@sarmale @mineapple The only change I'd like to see is replaceable key caps on the FW13, so I can have a penguin (Tux) instead of a 'Windows' key.
For now I use a penguin sticker :-)
@sarmale @mineapple
Why is the US \ so small? ;-)
Several countries have \ taller, and wider at the top.
My UK keyboard is the same, and I'm probably too old to adapt to a smaller \ and having the | \ @ ~ and # in (what I see as) the wrong places :-)
@Rand @Nitrousoxide Just got my 13th gen with FW-supplied RAM (and a Corsair SSD).
Lost 2% in 6 hours using Fedora 38. I haven't tried Windows yet.
I had USB-C, 2 * USB-A and audio card inserted, then just shut the lid for a meeting and forgot all about it until I opened the lid in the evening.
So it can work well. I expect progress will continue, although hibernation would be nice as well.

@Contramuffin Anyway, parcel undamaged/unopened.
Fedora 39 running nicely. Very happy :-)
I've had a thought--previous machine had Windows 8.1 Pro for one old app, and I need 1 copy of Windows anyway.
How about keeping Fedora as my daily driver, with #VMware Workstation running an image of my old Windows 8.1 Pro?
Any 'gotcha' I should worry about?
@Contramuffin Well, well!

Vikki didn't recognise him from the local area...
@framework I've just had a reply to my support ticket confirming it's been escalated to their logistics team.
Maybe now I'll get some info :-)
I hope it's insured for this!
