I have a batch one Framework laptop with the i7-1185G7. Overall, I absolutely love it, but it didn't come easy.

1. Ubuntu 21.10 had horrid support of the hardware. Eventually switching to Fedora 35 fixed most bugs

2. The DisplayPort expansion card I received was faulty and sometimes caused horrible performance.

3. EMI shields were incorrectly placed on my expansion slots[^1]. Eventually I simply removed them to get full performance back.

In the end, after months of tweaking and talking to support, I got a new DisplayPort card, switched to Fedora 35 and everything works smoothly.
