This article covers the installation and configuration of Arch Linux on a Framework Laptop 13 with a AMD Ryzen 7040 Series mainboard.
For a general overview of laptop-related articles and recommendations, see Laptop.
Installation
It is highly recommended to use the latest stable kernel (linux) as linux-lts does not yet include patches for the Phoenix APU and Zen 4 platform that improve stability, power efficiency and performance.
Display
The matte display module is manufactured by BOE and is uncalibrated from factory, giving a suboptimal default sRGB coverage. It is thus recommended to apply this ICC profile if you have this display in order to have better color reproduction.
Speakers
By default, the speakers do not sound very balanced (due to downward firing speakers), so you may want to use an equalizer to fix this. One way is to install EasyEffects and use a preset such as this by cab.
Power management
power-profiles-daemon should be installed and enabled to be able to control power states. AMD and Framework do not recommend the use of tlp - see [1] [2].
Wi-Fi
You will be limited to 802.11n (Wi-Fi 4) and 2.4GHz bands if you do not configure the regulatory domain.
There have been reports of Wi-Fi stability and throughput improvements when using iwd, either directly or as the NetworkManager backend.
Fingerprint reader
Install fprint to enable fingerprint authentication. You will need to upgrade the fingerprint reader firmware following the article on the Framework knowledgebase if your reader isn't recognised.
Ambient light sensor
Install iio-sensor-proxy to enable automatic brightness in Gnome.
Firmware
fwupd is support is offered by Framework. It is highly recommended to upgrade to BIOS 3.05 for maximum compatibility. Full instructions, changelogs, known issues and EFI shell updaters can be found in the Framework knowlegebase.
Custom Secure Boot keys can be installed.
