It’s pretty damn solid. I’ve been running it on my Framework 13 AMD 7040 for years, and I recently acquired a 64GB Framework Desktop and it’s running like a dream on it. Definitely recommend it for (mostly) effortless Arch.
How does it handle the battery on that Framework? I’m considering switching from Silverblue to something else just because it’s worse than a coin flip as to if I close the lid with a decent battery charge that I’ll come back to it a few hours later and the battery is empty.
I know Linux and battery stuff is and has always been Not Good, but I’d like it to be predictably not good.
I have great experience with it when it comes to standby time. I sometimes will bring it with me to work to play around on my lunch hour, and if I don’t end up pulling it out of my backpack, it’ll drop maybe 4-5% over a ~10 hour period. Of course, actual use can be a mixed bag, but I tended to get a few hours of modded Minecraft before needing to reach for a charger.
