From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

So, no weird firmware issues with Framework, like Tuxedo had?
Framework is getting first-party support for Ubuntu (and thus Ubuntu-derived distros) and will be "ubuntu certified" so probably not.
There are issues, but at least Framework releases firmware updates
The machine hasn’t shipped yet, and won’t until July. Framework has a page for downloads of their BIOS updates for their various generations of mainboards, and for Linux users all firmware can be updated by LVFS via fwupd as far as I’m aware.
I have my preorder in for the 13 pro, and I know full well there may be some firmware growing pains with the new chip architecture, but I think 6 generations in, they’ve proven themselves capable of addressing any issues that arise.
My 7040u is rock solid on Fedora. I've seen some pretty bad shit with the Ryzen AI series, but people tend to only post about issues.
Currently regretting an "upgrade" to the Ryzen AI series... although many of its most glaring issues (that weren't issues on the 7040) appear to be fixed in Resolute Raccoon based on testing a daily release of it as a live boot.
Interesting, I thought that the Ryzens were better than Intel's offerings?
What were the issues?
This made me feel better about not understanding the benefits of attic halo and buying 7040
