Install per the manufacturer's instructions, then checkout the top tips at their community forum.

First installation notes from my AMD Ryzen 7040 Series Framework (32GB DDR5-5600, 1TB NVMe) Ubuntu 22.04 LTS:

sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y
sudo apt install vim git
sudo apt install exuberant-ctags cscope moreutils

Now that you have vim and git:

git clone ssh://dblume@dlma.com/~/git/dotfiles.git
cd dotfiles
./setup.sh

Now that you can barely tolerate your terminal, get the rest:

sudo apt install tmux entr
tmux
sudo apt install curl jq tree expect gnuplot httpie visidata
sudo apt install python3-pip
python3 -m pip install matplotlib

Install Google Chrome.

Copy over the .ssh, .localrc, .gitconfig.local, .history files from the old computer. Export gpg keys from the old computer:

gpg -a --export david@dlma.com > david-dlma.com-public-gpg.key
gpg -a --export-secret-keys david@dlma.com > david-dlma.com-secret-gpg.key  # passphrase in secure

Once you've got them on the new computer,

gpg --import david-dlma.com-public-gpg.key
gpg --import david-dlma.com-secret-gpg.key
gpg --edit-key david@dlma.com
...
gpg> trust

Via an answer to "chrome does not save my passwords":

Sometimes a couple of login files get corrupt, and stop google-chrome from saving the passwords. To fix it, close google-chrome. Terminal to the following directory and remove the two files, Login Data and Login Data-journal.

cd ~/.config/google-chrome/Default
rm 'Login Data'
rm 'Login Data-journal'

Seems like I'm going to be preferring pixlr (online) or Krita (local).

After installing Krita, add a desktop launcher to make it more GNOME/rofi/drun friendly. Extract the .desktop from the appimage to $HOME/.local/share/applications or manually make a .desktop file in $HOME/.local/share/applications.

I put the krita appimage in /usr/local/bin, the .desktop in $HOME/.local/share/applications, and a 256×256 .png in /usr/share/pixmaps. The .png is untested.

The i3 Window Manager.

.config/i3/config

font pango:DejaVu Sans Mono 16
 
# bindsym all the jkl; to hjkl
 
exec --no-startup-id xss-lock --transfer-sleep-lock -- i3lock --color 101030 --nofork

Enable touchpad tap to click in i3.
xinput to find the name of the Touchpad (the id can change)
xinput list-props “PIXA3854:00 093A:0274 Touchpad” to see properties

.xsessionrc

xinput set-prop "PIXA3854:00 093A:0274 Touchpad" "libinput Tapping Enabled" 1
xinput set-prop "PIXA3854:00 093A:0274 Touchpad" "libinput Natural Scrolling Enabled" 1
xinput set-prop "PIXA3854:00 093A:0274 Touchpad" "libinput Tapping Drag Lock Enabled" 1

From HiDPI -> X Resources: (96dpi * 1.5 = 144dpi)

.Xresources

Xft.dpi: 144

Enable Brightness Keys, Media keys, background image:

sudo apt install brightnessctl playerctl feh
sudo usermod -a -G video ${USER}
# Logout and log back in

Enable screenshots with maim and xclip

sudo apt install maim xclip

I have the ridiculously tiny font problem where a commenter suggests “set the DPI in your xorg.conf”. HOWTO set DPI in Xorg.

The tiny Wi-Fi connection dialog is Dunst which has its own config reddit thread.

I thought the media keys (Function keys) weren't working. I added “blacklist hid_sensor_hub” to framework-als-blacklist.conf for the brightness keys. (But I should undo that change and see if they still work now. Make sure the “fn” key wasn't in the other mode.)

  sudo vim /etc/modprobe.d/framework-als-blacklist.conf

Test with

pactl set-sink-volume @DEFAULT_SINK@ +10%
pactl get-sink-volume @DEFAULT_SINK@

Get rid of the Gnome Terminal Window bar:

Get rid of the menubar:

You can use xprop to learn the Window Class (the second value) for assigning apps to workspaces

assign[class="Rhythmbox"] $workspace10

If you keep accidentally typing Ctrl+Shift+C in Chrome, you can disable it with shortkeys extension:

Install shortkeys and set (and save) the following:

• Keyboard shortcut: ctrl+shift+c
• Behavior: Run JavaScript
• Javascript code to run: document.execCommand('copy')
