A Developer's Experience: Framework 13 AMD 7040 Series - Great developer writeup from Zach Silviera. I've been quite excited about this device for a while now. Unfortunately it seems like there are still quite a few issues with firmware updates etc. The only way he was able to get the finger sensor working on Linux was to first install windows which comes with a firmware pack that fixes the issue. But he ran into a load of other niggly things that all add together to make me very worried to get this device with the aim to have it running Ununtu. I would at least expect a fresh install to work first time with all hardware operational. Having to mess around with re-installing kernels feels a bit too much. I like to tinker with Linux but at the end of the day I'm a web developer, and if the device is getting in the way of that, it's a big issue for me. zach.codes #
