Distro recommendations and experiences (feddit.uk)

Hello,

I just purchased an AMD framework 13 and while I wait (im)patiently for it to arrive, I was wondering what Linux distros people here are using.

I've only ever use Ubuntu on desktop, but I think I'm ready to move away from it now, which I guess leaves fedora and mint as officially supported distros.

What have you tried? What are your experiences?

I would recommend you Aurora or Bluefin. They're both the same, but one is KDE, and the other is Gnome.

They are pretty much indestructible, ultra-low maintenence (staged automatic updates, etc.), different branches, great quality of life tweaks and more included.

It's a bit similar to how Android works, but powered by a common PC.

With the great touchpad both KDE and Gnome would shine due to their smooth gestures they offer.
