?FrameWork 11th gen

[ATTACH]

DebianOn is an effort to document how to install, configure and use Debian on some specific hardware. Therefore potential buyers would know if that hardware is supported and owners would know how get the best out of that hardware.

The purpose is not to duplicate the Debian Official Documentation, but to document how to install Debian on some specific hardware.

If you need help to get Debian running on your hardware, please have a look at our user support channels where you may find specific channels (mailing list, IRC channel) dedicated to certain types of hardware.

Important Note

Bios is configured with UEFI and secure mode. You must enable this feature if to allow usb read.

Configuration

Display

Display works quite well out of the box, including brightness controls with the standard Debian kernel.

Maximum resolution is 2256x1504 which is pretty high but nicely readable. Adjusting font size of some applications might be wanted anyway.

Audio

Works perfect out of the box.

Sound has good quality. Interesting detail: Microphone has a physical switch.

Bluetooth

Works quite well, very stable including sound via Advanced Audio Distribution Profile.

Touchpad

The touchpad works well with the standard kernel.

Power Management

There are some hints in the frame.work community

Unfortunately there is an issue with the power management in suspend mode. The laptop looses 50% of battery when staying in suspend mode for about 12 hours (while comparable laptops might loose about 10%). This is documented in the frame.work community It boils down to 

sudo apt install tlp powertop
sudo powertop --auto-tune

WiFi

Some trouble could occur with wifi support. You could downgrade iwlwifi package. You can find a better description and some solution at 989777 bugreports

An another solution is to unload and reload module as this : 

modprobe -rv iwlmvm
modprobe iwlwifi
modprobe iwlmvm
