What all does your Linux support entail? Do you offer support for both Linux abd Windows models?

Is the firmware identical for the models that ship with Windows and those that ship with Linux?

How well does Linux work out of the box? What kind of small glitches can a Linux user expect?

Yes. The firmware upgrade processes can differ, but there's no difference in firmware, and you can buy a Framework kit with no OS provided.

We publish our recommended and officially supported Linux distros here: https://frame.work/laptop16?tab=linux

For the new generation, we'll list those as we get closer to shipments.

Granted:

- Bazzite takes community contributions; whereas, SteamOS is packaged and distributed by Valve, and

- Bazzite is based on Fedora, so the work to support Fedora should bubble over to Bazzite.

I'm curious though, is there a big difference in functionality for SteamOS vs Bazzite. Are there things that work in Bazzite that wouldn't in pure SteamOS?

I'm guessing/hoping Debian 13 now meets the requirements and can be added?
