OK, so I have a framework laptop on the way and am trying to decide on a Linux distro to put on it. I’m going to main this laptop for dev-work, security research and maintaining my site. Who has opinions on what the best OS would be to use? I’m no Linux noob but also wouldn’t consider myself a pro by any means.

    Currently only Ubuntu and Fedora are officially supported, but many others work as well: https://frame.work/linux

    I am using plain old Ubuntu on my Framework 11th Gen. Setup is without hiccups, however per default hibernation is not setup which can be a pain in the butt. I haven‘t tried the finger print sensor, but it should work as well.

    Ubuntu is always a sane default and I am very happy with it.

      I had the same experience with Mint. Hibernation was difficult but everything else was fine. Fingerprint works but not for the login screen. I didn’t care enough to figure that out.
