[kwlug-disc] Framework Laptop

[Ron Singh]

Yes, the T14s(Gen1 and Gen2), T16g, P1, P16, P17(gen1 & 2) and the
TrackPoint works gloriously in W10/W11,
Mint Cinnamon/Xfce, smooth as buttah.

Mint 21.1 Mate and even the latest and greatest Ubuntu Mate 22.04 is
jerky/choppy.

I messed with the input drivers, installing evdev and ripping out libinput;
the jerkiness did *not* go away, but I had better/smoother acceleration
response. Not sure what to make of this, but there it is.

I have not tried Arch-based distros on these machines, lack of time.
