    Fedora with GNOME runs very well, no issues at all, been daily driving for over 2 weeks, tested both kde and gnome with not really any issues

    ​

    did end up booting to windows to do a bios update to enable things like the fingerprint reader etc cuz was so much quicker than fiddling on linux

    Ubuntu and Fedora are the 2 supported distros which the team constantly tests so either one would be the best.

    At this stage i would say any linux distro until the kernel gets more optimisation with the new AMD cpu, but i run Arch BTW.

    The answer is the one you like and can tweak to work as you want it to work. If you are not handy to to that, choose the officially supported one: either Ubuntu or Fedora.

    Any rolling distro should be fine. I’m using Tumbleweed and kernel 6.6.2 and just upgraded from Intel to Ryzen mainboard and everything just works™.

    I would run an officially support distro, but if you’re not new to linux land I definitely recommend at least looking into Arch, or something Arch based, like EndeavourOS.

    I mean… Fedora and Ubuntu? It’s the two suggested distros by Framework themselves. So the “best” without any more details from you would be the manufacturer suggestions. If you have any particular wants or needs that those two don’t fulfill, then explore the other non-supported ones.
