Are you on the 11th or 12th gen Intel? What's your take on Arch -- do you find most things work? I've got a Framework on order coming sometime October and I'm thinking of using Arch for install.

Things that I care about are display/graphics, webcam/mic/audio/video, a working suspend even if I have to resort to hibernate, media keys on the keyboard, and a usable trackpad.

Things I don't really care about is probably the fingerprint reader.

From the ArchWiki this seems to be a go, but I'm still a bit sceptical.



11th I think. I got mine February.

Most things work. I didn't setup mic and audio, because being Deaf I couldn't be bothered. Suspend is very nice. There's hibernate, too and hybrid suspend/hibernate (first suspend and if battery is too low, hibernate). With sway you setup media keys yourself. I didn't bother. I only configured screen brightness and screenshots. Trackpad is okay. Don't expect Apple's smoothness. First it was very jerky till I found out that Firefox fell back to X11.

The good: very configurable and mostly working

The bad: it takes a lot of time to configure everything

The ugly: kinetic scrolling is per application so all applications do this differently
