For what is worth: some people documented installations of Debian on their Framework devices: https://wiki.debian.org/InstallingDebianOn/FrameWork I recently did it for my Framework 13 AMD Ryzen AI 7 350 (not that Pro version): https://wiki.debian.org/InstallingDebianOn/Framework/Laptop13/AMD_Ryzen_AI_300_Series I am happy to answer questions (here in project@, but I think that it might be off-topic for debian-project; or discuss in another mailing list if you point me where or direct email). Or just add details on the Wiki if anyone would like to know more and I have time. Summary: I haven't tested the fingerprint reader, I had to add a Kernel parameter for X11 (this was the most annoying thing to do), I had to setup things manually for changing the brightness or volume. I didn't need to install anything outside Debian. -- Carles Pina i Estany https://carles.pina.cat | [email protected] | [email protected]
