    In frustration I switched from fedora to manjaro on my laptop and it has fixed almost all the issues I had even though fedora is the recommended distro by Framework. Dunno why but in all my time using Linux (even back to when netbooks were a thing) Arch based ones have consistently given me the least issues even though I’m far from an expert.

      I’m also happily running Manjaro on my new Framework 16.
      Even the fingerprint sensor works fine - although I’ll still need to tune LightDM a bit, so I don’t have to press enter.

      Do you have any tips what you have done further or any resources?

      At first the WiFi wasn’t working and is still a bit unstable - like isn’t available as interface after booting and I need to toggle flight mode.
      But it seems a newer kernel (6.10.6-10) mostly fixed it.

      Also sometimes coreboot seems to take some time. But only every 10 boots or something.

        Other than going through the guide on Framework’s website I can only recall having to edit the config files to get the fingerprint reader to work with KDE.
