    I think OP means “just work” as in the OS is preinstalled. Framework do support Linux but they don’t preinstall a distro for you.

    Having said that, I’ve got a Framework 16 and it’s very nice.

      When I checked out during purchasing my 16 I seem to remember the options being “no OS (bring your own), Fedora, Ubuntu, and Windows.” I chose no OS because I was planning on installing FedoraKDE with FDE which wasn’t an option, but, I assumed that by choosing Fedora as my option it would come preinstalled, or does it come with an install USB to do it yourself?

        Bought one very recently, the options are

        • buy a prebuilt and it will come with windows pre-installed
        • buy a DIY edition and the SSD will be new in box with nothing installed on it
          • you can opt for a windows license, but it is just a digital download for the installer

      Years ago it was literally impossible to get a laptop without OS. It’s a good enough option compared to what we had to suffer before.
