This collection of scripts and guides from Framework's GitHub repositories offers tools and resources to optimize, troubleshoot, and enhance various aspects of Framework devices running Linux. The scripts cover a wide range of functionality, including:

  • System Diagnostics and Logs: Tools to collect system logs, detect GPU usage, and diagnose network connectivity issues.
  • Power Management: Utilities to customize power-saving settings, manage hibernation, and prevent accidental wakeups.
  • Device Configuration: Scripts to set up fingerprint readers, Wi-Fi power save, and kernel switching on Ubuntu.
  • Audio and Graphics Optimization: Easy Effects setup for audio processing and discrete GPU usage detection.
  • System Enhancements: Enabling hibernation on Fedora, configuring USB event logging, and installing Mission Center as a Flatpak.
  • Wi-Fi and Ethernet Testing: Diagnostic tools for troubleshooting Wi-Fi drops and network performance.


  • Framework Log Helper (Combined.sh)

    This script collects and organizes system logs for troubleshooting Framework devices, combining relevant logs into a single output for easier debugging.


  • Disable Accidental Wakeup Script

    The problem: In some instances, Framework Laptop 16 can accidentally come out of its suspend state. This usually occurs when traveling, walking, taking a bus, placing the laptop into a backpack. Overall the agreed upon cause is that this happens due to keyboard presses while it's in a state of suspend, thus waking it up.

    The workaround: Our engineering team has it on their roadmap to fix this on the BIOS level, however until that is available this script is a reliable workaround.
