I almost threw my hat in this ring but I must wait on people who use Linux to get ahold of it and review it. Proably an early 2024 buy date for me.

At least for framework 13, Linux support was great. I am guessing the same trend would continue. More details here. https://frame.work/linux

EDIT: my comment got eaten and I don’t want to type it again.

TLDR: I had the FW 11 gen and it was not good with Linux when it came to being a laptop. Sleep was fundamentally broken due to hardware issue.

I was not a huge fan of the Intel Framework, I used mine for a few weeks in January and had substantial issues with their recommended Ubuntu install. Aside from the battery life, I remember regular OS things were breaking pretty much daily. In the end I returned for a hardware issue (it stopped charging).

Hopefully an AMD core will help at least with battery life, but it seems like Linux users aren't a primary target. I'm not turned off them forever as I am still conceptually into it, but I'll wait a bit before trying again.

Same boat. Need those concrete reviews this time around.

they advertise ubuntu compatibility and the hardware has been out a short while now, so odds are it's going to be just golden.
