Our biggest breakthrough in efficiency yet, the Framework Laptop 13 Pro with 20 hours of battery life. In Graphite. Linux-first with options for Ubuntu pre-installed. Featuring Intel® Core™ Ultra Series 3 processors, LPCAMM2 Memory, a new haptic touchpad, and a touchscreen display. Pre-orders for the Framework Laptop 13 Pro open now: frame.work




The new Dell XPS Linux battery test and HOLY COW, the battery life is EXCELLENT. A little background: Intel + dell + omarchy team worked together to get everything working perfectly for the new XPS. I am honestly shocked that I am having a "mac" experience with linux as far as battery life goes. Here is my test timeline: Saturday: 99% - 10:07am computer fully charged and on, walking to gate, suspend mode in backpack 99% - 11:00am - compiling rust, running agents, MiMo running on youtube, writing this tweet 80% - 2:00pm - forced to shutdown due landing the plane :( No more work, almost done setting up my machine! Very excited. Vim is there and so is tmux and zsh, but not my wall paper :( And i want to try Aether 75% - 2:30 - 3pm - i watched the new moist critical videos on the guy who threaten to kill people via ring doorbell. woah that was weird. Sunday: 5PM 75% -> 62% - Sat in suspend mode in my back pack for ~14 hours. I wanted to see where I was at, will open back up in another ~14 hours. Monday: 7AM 55% -> 5% - Monday: 3 hours of work. Agents are coding, neovim motions flying, youtube playing MiMo. Even took a 40 minute discord team video call and the microphone worked FIRST TRY?? Did... Linux just get a computer where you don't have to worry about battery life? It honestly felt better than my way back in the day Mac Air experiences. ---- Things I did not like: * when the computer wakes up from suspend, its "chunky" for about ~30 seconds. * the touch pad is annoying. the right click seems like its ~95% of the touch pad and i have a bit of a trouble getting left click regularly. The new Dell is actually good. I am shocked right now. Omarchy also took 3 minutes to install and I was up and running in 5. The primary reason why I am using omarchy is because 2 reasons: 1. everyone on my team is using it, makes certain aspects of life easier when everyone is on the *almost* same distro 2. intel + dell are working with each other and omarchy has a seat at the table to make things happen. this means i am using the super latest hardware with it perfectly integrated. pretty awesome. Thanks Dell for sending me the computer for Omacon! I am genuinely stoked for the computer.











Got a PR in the Omarchy queue to add a "Without audio" option for screen recording. Comes in handy for PR description videos / demos etc. I love that I can add this sort of stuff to my OS 😍
