When I get a framework laptop in the distance future I will be getting one with Linux Mint pre-installed as it’s a simple to use distro and the developers have a partnership with Framework so the hardware should work great!

I’ve been running Pop!_OS 22.04 and more recently the 24.04 build with the new (alpha) Cosmic Desktop Environment. It’s been wonderful to use–solid hardware, solid OS. For 3 years I built a company called Relm (a 3D world with video and audio, similar to gather town) and failed at the business, but it was the 13" Framework laptop that gave me a sense of freedom, ownership, and confidence that I could replace parts if needed, as I built the business and codebase.

I run Fedora KDE, mostly because after a bunch of distrohopping on my main computer it was the distro that worked the best for me.
