Hello,

I just purchased an AMD framework 13 and while I wait (im)patiently for it to arrive, I was wondering what Linux distros people here are using.

I’ve only ever use Ubuntu on desktop, but I think I’m ready to move away from it now, which I guess leaves fedora and mint as officially supported distros.

What have you tried? What are your experiences?

Mint if you are coming from Windows.

Pop!_OS if you are coming from Mac.

Pop!_OS on a Thinkpad has been my daily driver for five years now. Not a single problem, ever. Rock solid.

Have you tried pop on the framework? Have you had any compatibility issues?

Currently running Pop on my Framework with the Cosmic DE. Pop was rock solid before. Alpha software brings in bugs of course, but it is still surprisingly stable.

I do not have a Framework but it is my understanding that they are designed for maximum flexibility and compatibility. I doubt that you will have any issues.

Frankly, anything with KDE Plasma (like Fedora), is a pretty solid choice too for people coming from Windows.

RedHat if you’re coming from OS/2. 25 years now, going strong.

I too ran OS/2 back in the day (started with 2.0). I started my Linux journey with Red Hat Halloween in 95(?), but I tend to only recommend Debian based distros to beginners due to the vast amount of support available for that flavour. On the server side, it’s still RHEL and its forks.
