Kinda disappointing as it shows a lack of care and support for Linux, but hopefully the fix will come out soon.
I look forward to seeing the Linux numbers.
Been pretty involved with Framework, having the first gen and waiting for the AMD upgrade kit to ship.
They’ve been pretty transparent about these bios issues to the backers, they’ve been sending emails on the updates and resolution steps between Framework, the bios manufacturer, and AMD.
So yeah, this looks bad from the outside, but all of the stakeholders are on the same page and they’re really setting the example for how a company should treat their customers.
It was a kernel regression that caused the issue, not sure that is entirely their fault. I would think that’s more on AMD and the kernel devs.

What is a BIOS “regression”? I’ve never heard that term before.
It means a functionality that used to work stopped. It’s used in software development. It’s common for software to go through “regression testing” to see if everything old still works after a new feature is added.
I’ve been waiting for a ryzen framework laptop since spring 2021. I’m in batch 1 and can’t wait to get my hands on it. I’m sure they will have these BIOS/firmware issues sorted out by launch, and I’ve been waiting this long so a couple more weeks isn’t that big of a deal.
