Framework Computer Now Sponsoring LVFS / Fwupd Development

https://www.phoronix.com/news/Framework-Sponsoring-LVFS

Delightful news! I hope more vendors will follow Framework's example.

I have a couple machines that get all relevant updates from LVFS, it's been an absolute game changer for me.

nrp•2mo ago
We consider LVFS to be critical infrastructure for our products and are happy to support it. Richard is doing excellent work.
tapia•2mo ago
Just got my Framework 13 last week. I really love this computer, and how it is pushing for upgradability and repairability in this segment. Thanks a lot for creating this computer!
nrp•2mo ago
Great to hear that!
gbuk2013•2mo ago
Just got my Framework Dektop a few weeks ago and it works flawlessly so far with Debian 13 install including (shock!) suspend working without issue. :)

It’s really great to see companies focus on improving Linux hardware support.

BoredPositron•2mo ago
The net finally caught something actually useful.
backscratches•2mo ago
Bravo! This (and coreboot) are why I own a Starbook from Starlabs.

Worth noting that the starlabs machines are equally repairable as the frameworks as well. But am extremely happy to have multiple options in the niche, will survey again when I upgrade.

snapplebobapple•2mo ago
I wish framework would support coreboot, that would be awesome.
backscratches•2mo ago
I can only recommend starlabs in that case, took me tons of research before discovering only starlabs has everything: repair ability, firmware, coreboot, compatibility, custom hardware.
snapplebobapple•2mo ago
yah, the problem is I'm pretty heavily invested in framework and already bought the newest 16" before I realized starlabs wasn't selling rebadged compal suitcase sized laptops anymore, so it'll be 3 years at least.
backscratches•2mo ago
Yes fair enough I was on the fence between framework and starlabs since they seem to be only custom hardware Linux machines and am lucky I wasn't in a rush and could wait for the starlabs or I would have pulled the trigger on framework. Machines will hopefully only be better when the time comes!
snapplebobapple•2mo ago
yah, it's a small gripe really, I just really want to try out coreboot, it looks like the future. I wish windows wasn't holding back hardware development everywhere so badly.
backscratches•2mo ago
My starbook coreboot let's me set charge limit (60%/80%/100%) as well as 3 different charging speed settings, which are incredible for a computer that remains largely docked.
moltopoco•2mo ago
I just wish their StarFighter was out already, it has been in a weird state of limbo forever. The FW16 seems easier to beat than the FW13; the 4K screen alone would be so much nicer for 2x scaling.
backscratches•2mo ago
Yes their releases are slow but in exchange you get extremely good support from a small devoted team. My starbook took a year after preorder but have been so content since it arrived I won't hesitate to preorder again

What is LVFS / Fwupd ? Neither the article or its first link explains it.
cpburns2009•2mo ago
fwupd is a firmware update program that allows updating the firmware on the motherboard and other connected devices.
