framework-laptop-formula VS lima

Very cool, thanks for the follow up and tips. I'm using Pop_OS (based on Ubuntu 22.04) and had to make some tweaks to get fingerprint working and other optimizations. I used this repo to get the tweaks. Did the fingerprint sensor work out of the box for 23.04 beta?

The recommendations here are very helpful https://github.com/lightrush/framework-laptop-formula Most of it will work for Pop! (what I use) the rest can be handled by the commands noted here https://github.com/lightrush/framework-laptop-formula/issues/37 (unfortunately I haven't had time figure out Salt and contribute back).

Yup, I used the automated salt formula . Though, I don't get the battery life that others have claimed. I'm around 5 and a half hours

If you're using an Ubuntu/Debian based distro, you can try this script to get things working.

I also used this script to set up power management and a few other tweaks.

Just make it hibernate after X time (2 hours for me). There a repo of scripts on github (https://github.com/lightrush/framework-laptop-formula) where you might find information on how to do it. I'm sure it's not a 1 to 1 port to Arch, but it might get you started. Just note I had to disable secure boot for hibernate to work.

I don't have a ready and correct guide to point you to for setting it up. It involves setting up hibernate which can be done in multiple different ways then modifying the default "close lid" behavior. I guess you could look up what the source code does. Salt code isn't too complicated to read.

You can run a virtual machine (e.g. lima) from inside a nix-shell, exactly as you would do with a regular shell.

for others similarly curious, here's an example of the thing: https://github.com/noop-inc/template-java-spring-boot/blob/m...

they seem to be using the excellent lima <https://github.com/lima-vm/lima#readme> for booting on macOS; I run colima for its containerd and k8s support but strongly recommend both projects $(brew install lima colima)

Lima is what I use as well. It's quick and easy to just fire up a VM with default settings, but also very easy to configure with different file sharing options, port forwarding, different linux distributions, etc. (their examples are also pretty good IMO [1]).

In particular I use it to run an amd64 VM, which I need to run a stubborn service for work that doesn't run on arm CPUs.

Lima (1) is a project that packages Linux distros for MacOS and executes them via qemu in the backend. Maybe you could solve your problem by launching one of their vms and inspecting the command line it generates. You might find an option you were missing.

I'd say Lima and Colima should be enough for most use cases:

Lima wraps QEMU in a simple CLI, with neat features for container users, such as filesystem sharing and automatic localhost port forwarding, as well as DNS and proxy propagation for enterprise networks. Rancher Desktop wraps Lima with k3s integration and GUI.
