Distro recommendations and experiences (self.framework)

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 run Garuda on my 16 and my desktop PC.

It's basically a KDE-centric Arch build but with some quality of life tools and XTREME GAMER default theming, plus you're not legally required to say you're using Arch all the time.

No complaints so far. Sure, you're expected to update all packages on your computer about once per day but I find that process to be fairly smooth. You can always configure your desktop to stop looking like a bordello for dragons and I rather like how garuda-update automates some of the housekeeping involved with the package manager.

If I had to pick a different distro I'd probably try out something immutable but so far I have no intention to switch.
