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'm trying Aurora on a Dell with Amd. I had the bitlocker issue coming from windows 11 that slowed the installation process. The os seems fine, I've used Mint and Ubuntu. I spent a good hour trying to get my flatpak apps to show up in the launcher, so that wasn't fun.

While I like the concept of keeping the os immutable and all apps running in a container, I'm not sure this is the best setup for me. I feel less in control which I have become used to under other distros.

Anyway, I'll stick with it a bit more and see how it goes. Battery life is good and everything else seems to be working.
