Best new CPU for Linux compatibility?

Framework Laptop 13 Linux
1

I have 2 FW 13s, an 11th Gen and an AMD 7040. I am thinking about upgrading the CPU on the 11th Gen, but I would like to avoid the amdgpu/external dock issues that have plagued my 7040.

Do the new Intel CPUs have better Linux support, or should I stick with the devil I know?

Which Linux distro are you using? Fedora

Which release version? 41

(If rolling release, last date updated?) Today

Which kernel are you using? 6.13.7-200

Which BIOS version are you using? 3.07

Which Framework Laptop 13 model are you using? AMD Ryzen™ 7040 Series

Thanks for the reply! Do you ever use an external monitor connected via a dock, and if so does that ever give you any issues?

There is a patch for fixes with pluggable docks that just went upstream.

You can see if that helps your docking issues.

JFYI there is some reference counting issue that was recently raised and looks like the root cause to a lot of docking bugs (both Intel and AMD).
