Framework has been known for lagging behind on BIOS and driver updates, in addition to limited Linux support, ever since its inception. After hiring a team from Comap, a white box computer manufacturing company, Framework is anticipated to release updates and bug fixes for its older devices more frequently.
Here is a timeline posted on their website, listed by CPU type:
I love that they added start/stop charge thresholds in their recent updates. That’s a must have feature in my opinion.
I need a new laptop and Framework looks really nice and is my current first choice, but I am so over the top miffed with just how poorly they and others provide EFI updates.
I really wish AMD and Intel would get their shit together and split it out and bypass the vendors and give proper 5-7 years of updates.
Big BIOS (AMI/Phoenix/Insyde) probably just wants their license fees.
