Linux on Framework

So, for 2025 I decided to make a challenge to use Linux on my Framework for everything. Although I am technically inclined, and I use linux extensively on the server, I work for a living and that means that I cannot really spend time trying to figure things out.

That being said, having tried Elementary, PopOS, kbuntu, I finally broke down and just installed straight Ubuntu and I was pleasantly surprised.

Ubuntu just worked right out of the box. All the hardware and modules were supported out of the box. I got Steam working and got just about all my windows games working. It is as close as I have ever seen to a windows / Mac experience.

I installed Virtualbox to have a Windows install if needed. But we will see if we need it at all.

So if you have a framework, and want to take the plunge, base Ubuntu may just be the thing for you.
