@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 :-)

@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 <Enter> so small? ;-)

Several countries have <Enter> taller, and wider at the top.

My UK keyboard is the same, and I'm probably too old to adapt to a smaller <Enter> and having the | \ @ ~ and # in (what I see as) the wrong places :-)

 

@framework Has anyone here got ideas about how to deal with a false delivery notice from FedEx?

No response yet from Framework via the support link in the order confirmation e-mail.

#fedex have form for this. Someone (driver?) 'signs' for the package, which never arrives. Customer kicks up a stink, then FedEx sometimes find it down the back of a sofa 2 days later.

This seems very, very dodgy to me!
