Greetings, as a programmer, I’d like to share my opinion: Linux is ideal for developers since most frameworks and libraries are designed for Linux and its servers. However, if you are going to use your system for other tasks, honestly, Windows is the king in terms of compatibility with commercial software and games. There is an option I recently started using and it has worked wonderfully for me: installing the Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) through the Marketplace. With this, you can use both the Linux kernel and the Windows kernel depending on your needs, all from the command console. In summary, if you are only going to use the system for development, Linux is the best choice. If you need a more versatile use, Windows with the Linux Subsystem is the ideal solution.

Very curious about the laptop experience as well. I’ve used Pop!_OS before on a tower PC and enjoyed using the window tiling system.

It works fine. I use arch Linux with i3 window manager and nothing weird happens. Use it for work and a lot of crypto activities. The only thing that can get you by surprise is that some modules work only on specific slots. I once almost messed up a presentation due to having the hdmi module on the only slot that's not working for it. Only way to know is to have read the manual. Hardware does not warn you with a beep or something of this incompatibility. Mind you this is not a Linux specific problem

Whenever I see posts from people using Framework laptops and tinkering with Linux makes me happy I use a Mac. I don't really want to deal with any of that. I did, a long time ago.

Running Linux on a Framework laptop is a highly satisfying experience, especially for those who value modularity, repairability, and sustainability. The laptop's design and the strong support from both the Framework and Linux communities make it an excellent choice for Linux enthusiasts. While there might be minor challenges, such as tweaking power management settings, the overall performance, compatibility, and user experience are exceptional. Here is a quick review. Installation: - Smooth with major Linux distributions - Easy partitioning and dual-boot setup. Hardware Compatibility: - CPU & GPU: Well-supported, good performance. - Wi-Fi: Excellent support, works out of the box. - Display: High-resolution - Audio: Works but may need some adjustments. - Battery: Decent but can be optimized with tools like TLP. Software & Drivers: - Most components are natively supported. - Regular firmware updates from Framework ensure compatibility. Performance: - Fast, responsive, no bloatware.
