Please don't ask for their own Linux distro. Upstreamimg their hardware drivers is enough. Their resources are better spent innovating at the hardware level. And upstream support for frame.work hardware means frame.work users can take advantage of all the innovation happening in the linux ecosystem because all distros would run on it.
- pjerem 5y agoYes, I can see some partnership with an existing distro (something like « merge our drivers asap and you get preinstalled ») but IMO, the company behind Framework should focus on its strengths on the hardware design. I think they are on a hard market and it would make me sad to throw money into making another distribution. Furthermore, I think that, atm, their target market may be 95% of power users who will flash a usb stick with their favorite OS even before receiving the computer.
- Iolaum 5y agoI think that have a working/unofficial? relationship with some people from Fedora. I remember announcements some time ago that everything is working with it. Also given Fedora's upstream first approach that was a very good choice of them.
