Linux support lead here.
We love and recommend Fedora. However, it's going to see updates that may introduce regressions. Due to the cutting edge nature compared to say, Ubuntu LTS.
So in terms of overall stability, Ubuntu LTS (using our guide) is the recommended choice at this time.
Fedora is by far, more stable than other closer to cutting edge distros.
To Fedora's credit, they are awesome about working to stamp out anything that crops up.
Tltr. Fedora is a fantastic choice if you want current kernels, etc. Ubuntu 22.04 LTS with the OEM C kernel is usually more stable as it's simply LTS (Long Term Support) and not seeing bleeding edge packages.
Full disclosure, Fedora is my personal and professional use.
Cutting edge vs bleeding edge IMHO:
Cutting edge, Fedora Workstation. Closer to beeding edge, Fedora Rawhide.
We see Fedora team members on the forums, actively participating. They are amazing.
Unrelated question. Does framework add DSP or similar black magic so the speakers sound better? If so is it the same for windows/Linux? I don’t know of any vendors who provides this on Linux. Asahi Linux (linux for apple silicon, and their flagship distro is fedora) just landed speaker support for m1 macs and they sound awesome/just as good as on macos. I believe they actually had to work with upstream to make it possible and now other vendors could follow suit. It would be awesome to see framework implement this. As of now the best sounding laptop running Linux is a MacBook.
