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’ve used UbuntuDDE and Manjaro, and they both ran fine, although that was back on my Intel mainboard. Now, on my AMD mainboard, I currently use ZorinOS and my roommate uses Kubuntu on his. I didn’t need to switch, I just wanted to check out Zorin again. You used to have to run a script to install an OEM kernel but I think as of some recent updates that’s no longer necessary. My only negative is the battery drains a lot in sleep mode, so it’s better to shut down.
That battery drain issue is one I’ve ready a lot, unfortunately.
Just checked out zorin, since this is the first I’ve heard of it. Sounds like being able to run windows apps is it’s main USP, if I’m not mistaken. What’s your experience with thatm
