HN discussionHere's an overview on the state of Linux support, and the community forums are also a great source if you want details on a specific distro. But basically Ubuntu 21.04 works out of the box, and I'm currently on 20.04 LTS, which required some minor work arounds. https://frame.work/blog/linux-on-the-framework-laptop
