    This is great news!

    Mint is my choice of weapon when it comes to desktop Linux and I have been eyeing the Framework 13 for quite some time now.

      I used Linux Mint Cinnamon on my Framework 13 using the 11th gen Intel and just recently upgraded it to the Ryzen 7840U. It works very well with both. For a nicer display scaling experience I recommend the 2880x1920 display.
