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.

Note: Ensure you have linux-firmware installed, as pointed out by Installation guide#Install essential packages before reporting hardware issues on the Arch bug tracker or Framework Community boards. It is an optional dependency of linux and does not automatically get installed as part of base. Without it, much of the hardware will be detected but may not be fully functional. You will see firmware loading issues in the journal.

Display

The Ryzen 7040 Series can be configured with one of two different displays.

The default 2256x1504 resolution display has 400nit brightness and 60Hz refresh rate. 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.

The newer 2880x1920 resolution display, better known as the 2.8k display module, has >500nit brightness and 120Hz refresh rate. This display can be identified by the rounded top corners. The 2.8k display resolution at 256 DPI is perfect for 2x scaling factor as many desktop environments under Linux currently struggle with fractional scaling. This ICC profile is available to improve color reproduction.

Speakers

By default, the speakers do not sound very balanced due to the downward firing speakers, so you may want to use an equalizer to fix this. The recommended method is to install EasyEffects and use the official preset found here.

Alternatively, you can use user-created profiles such as this one created by cab404.

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. Other desktop environments are unsupported at this time.

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.
