Linux Mint and Framework Laptops Join Forces
The October 2024 edition of Linux Mint’s Monthly News brings exciting updates, including a significant announcement about collaboration with Framework Laptops, having potential to advance Mint’s compatibility with hardware designed with flexibility, repairability, and sustainability in mind.
For those unfamiliar, unlike most traditional laptops, which are often difficult or impossible to repair or upgrade, Framework laptops are built to be user-friendly, making it easy to replace or upgrade components. This modular approach extends the laptop’s lifespan and promotes sustainability by reducing e-waste.
Redshift hardly ever works. I’m glad to hear that the Cinnamon team is working to get a night shift mode working proper.
I hope this includes LMDE
This is nice, but wouldn’t it make more sense to work with the Linux kernel so their drivers work on any distro?
Framework 17 owner here, they have also partnered with Ubuntu and Fedora as official distros, this is just expanding the ecosystem. They also have a robust and well supported set of communities for other distros and often have their support engineers participate there.
Didn’t know they released a 17" version:p
