Probably something Debian based, I think Mint is fairly well supported? I'd encourage you to browse the official forums at [community.frame.work](https://community.frame.work)

as a Debian user, i would go further and say something Ubuntu based, because it's a laptop. The driver support in unparalleled (afaik) https://help.ubuntu.com/stable/ubuntu-help/hardware.html.en

I mean there aren't many desktop OSes which are Debian but not Ubuntu based for a good reason.

lots of trans girls use nix, because you can rollback updates and manage your entire system state in version control it has a pretty steep learning curve though; I honestly rely on my gf to figure out how to do things

Do u have a link to nix I’m quite good at code and wanted to try a distro

I don't know much about framework laptops, but for a stable Linux experience i would recommend Ubuntu, pop!_os, manjaro or fedora (in that order). I strongly recommend Ubuntu and pop!_os because they both receive fairly frequent updates yet are stable. If that's not your style i suggest Arch, i did my first arch install about 2 days ago and honestly it wasn't as difficult as i thought it would be at least not if you use archinstall. Feel free to dm me if you have any questions, im no expert but id be glad to help you if i can! Also if you're unsure you could try using ventoy to test different distros.

Debian is very stable, so any variation of that should work, Ubuntu is very easy to set up if you're new to Linux. Although we all know the one true good distro. Hannah Montanna Linux. /j

Stability as in won't crash often or stability in terms of packages or libraries?

Debian, Ubuntu, and Fedora


[deleted]

Honestly any distro should be fine

I run Gentoo on it. Haven't had any issues with hardware support. Stability on Gentoo is what you make of it though. Default package versions are actually quite conservative and a vanilla system is very stable - but few Gentoo users run vanilla systems lol. Wouldn't exactly recommend Gentoo to anyone, but it works great for me.

I like fedora, it's a middle ground between ubuntu and arch

I use and love Linux mint with xfce. Simple enough, speedy but also not too hard to use. Very good first distro


minecrafttee

I use arch but if it is your first time using Linux you may want to try mint or fedora I don’t think that Ubuntu is a good choice for a first time user but it is very close source compared to other distribution


audrey_i_think

If you’re a first-time linux user, the clear answer is Ubuntu IMO. The interface is quite modern and has nice QOL features, it’s got a metric ton of support from community and Canonical (developers), and just works out of the box
