3:2 Native Aspect Ratio in QEMU (Win 11 guest) (alien.top)
 

Basically as the title says, I'm just wondering if anyone has managed to get a QEMU-KVM virtual machine to display in the native 3:2 (2256x1504) resolution. I've had a bit of trouble getting this going with my windows 11 guest, but I've seen that someone has potentially managed to achieve this on a Linux guest. Any pointers are welcome, cheers!

Battery life on linux in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago (3 children)

2-4 hours for me on Fedora (AMD). This is with media consumption (video mainly) and I haven't tested it for productivity yet cause uni is on break. I've been trouble shooting this to try and get better performance because I have a feeling Flatpaks may not be as optimised for hardware acceleration. For the most part though, general web browsing and whatnot does not seem to hit the battery at at all really.

Battery Life Query (alien.top)
 

I recently took a flight in which I brought on my brand new Framework 13 AMD 7640U (Fedora 39) and the battery experience I had was quite disheartening. I barely managed to get through one movie (~2hr) downloaded to storage (not streamed) using the Plex flatpak app before my laptop was entirely dead. Wondering if anyone else has had similar experiences, and what I might be able to do to get more life out of the laptop.

Issues with WebCam (AMD 13" 7640U) (alien.top)
 

Just wondering if anyone has any thoughts on my webcam issue. I just received my batch 4 framework (DIY) and after putting it together it appears my webcam is not functioning correctly. I am testing this using Fedora 39 and it appears my webcam is extremely low res and flickering (attached). I have also tested the MIC and it sounds exactly how the webcam looks, super distorted and muffled. Just looking for some troubleshooting advice before I reach out to support. Cheers!

Dock Recs (AMD) (alien.top)
 

Hi, I'm in batch 4 for the AMD 13" and am looking for some dock reccomendations before it arrives. The world of USB is a bit confusing rn so I would want something that definitely will work.

I need the ability to output to two Display port monitors simultaneously (1080p60Hz is fine) as well as USB-PD passthrough. I will also be running Linux, so I need something that will work with Linux drivers (proprietary or otherwise).

Happy to look on the second hand market as well if I can figure out exactly what protocols I need to look for. Cheers!
