If Framework decided to put these new chips in their laptops (and assuming these claims are true), that might entice a number of Mac users. I've been a bit surprised at the number of Mac users around here saying they were excited to purchase a Framework Laptop.

If this is true and if framework would and if it would run Linux well, I would move. Until then I am a happy m1 user.

If Framework ended up making a main board with this I’d probably finally pull the trigger on one. It’s been in my cart for a while but I never really could justify buying one.

Framework needs to step up and offer at least one Linux distro.

Both ubuntu and fedora work well out of the box. Several other distros work well too. Are you suggesting they ship a linux distro by default?

I read about a lot of issues with Intel 12th generation. Yes, I am suggesting officially support a linux distro.

12th gen has had issues on all machines. Linux has added a lot of improvements and things generally work fine now, but it's not as out-of-the-box as 11th.

Take a look at https://frame.work/linux

This is probably as close to officially supporting linux as I can think of. I do agree that shipping with linux would be a good addition.
