Custom Kinoite / Silverblue Images for Framework 13 AMD

This is a customized Universal Blue Image for the Framework 13 AMD edition.

Update 11/28/23 - Silverblue based builds are now available. See installation below.

Update 11/29/23 - There was an issue with the 11/28 build where /etc/profile got overridden and causes issues, please make sure you upgrade. Previous builds were fine.

Tl;dr - Kinoite Image, Silverblue Image, enjoy. More details below.

To install from scrach you can find the ISO here. Use your favorite media writer, I have used Balena Etcher.

Post Install

• Run just fw13-amd to set kernel parameters
• Run just epp_power or another power setting to what you require -- note this does not persist a reboot
  • UPDATE - as of the 11/28 build you don't need to do this anymore
• (Optional) If you don't want Flatpak based browsers the Brave repo is included, you could also use Firefox-wayland
  • rpm-ostree install brave-browser or rpm-ostree install firefox-wayland
• (Optional) Use rpm-ostree kargs --append="" for any other kernel parameters you need (eg. amdgpu.sg_display=0, amd_iommu=off, rtc_cmos.use_acpi_alarm=1, etc)
• (Optional) If you want to use the included ICC Profile
  • Use colormgr get-devices and find the display device id
  • Use colormgr get-profiles and find the ICC profile id
  • Use colormgr device-add-profile device_id profile_id to associate the profile with the device
