Hello all,

I'm looking to get the newer 13 pro Framework laptop and am wondering if anyone has any experience with it? Specifically If I'll need non-free graphics drivers to use it effectively.

Thanks!

I've run Guix on my main desktop witch is an Intel i9 and an ARC B570 and I'm trapped in a frame buffer without nonguix. Part of me was hoping that with a non-duscrete GPU I could get away with it.

As for the hidpi that's the first I've heard of it actually. My desktop's monitor is a 5120x1440

Here's a thread on the Framework forums where people spent years talk about how to get HiDPI working: https://community.frame.work/t/tracking-state-of-hidpi-on-linux/8301

Granted it's a few years old now. Last time I tried HiDPI was a few years ago as well. I definitely had lots of little annoyances. The blurry fonts don't bother some people, so maybe it's fine. idk.
