Hello to all.

I really like the frame.work as a concept for laptops.

Yesterday I tried to use a live Trisquel image on the laptop 12.
https://frame.work/nl/en/laptop12

Debian 12 and 13 work, but when I first tried Trisquel, I arrive at the screen where it ask to try Trisquel live without installing it, but when I select that option, the screen goes blank, seems it is off, I waited even 10 minutes but nothing happens.

I did not tried the install option, should I try that too?

I am not going to have this laptop for a long time, I am just curios to see if it possible to load Trisquel on it in same way.

Have a great day!

If you tried the Trisquel 11 iso, there is a big chance that the included kernel does not have support for Intel 13th generation CPUs, which I read is what your latop has. Trisquel 11 has a "hardware enablement package" that may support that CPU, but I don't think you can use it for a live system.

In that case, try the Trisquel 12 (beta) iso instead. There is a .sha256 file for it in the same directory, but no signature yet.

If he has AMD Ryzen, his only problem will be the wifi card is non-libre

However judging by what he wrote, it seems to be the latter.

The Framework 12 seems to come with a 13th. Gen. Intel Core, which includes an exchangeable WiFi card that can be replaced with a FSF-RYF compliant one.

Also, judging by the hardware specs of Framework 12, it may work perfectly with Trisquel 12 Ecne, with the little detail that requires a WiFi card change in order to make it 100% functional with any FSF-endorsed distro.

And to add an interesting detail: the recent AMD Ryzen APU's doesn't have a proper performance with AMDGPU driver without their respective RadeonSI propietary firmware suit, so if you want to avoid to have issues with the integrated GPU of AMD, the only one reply is nothing less than Intel due to the transparency of support in their iGPU's.
