Good idea for a thread!
I’m also running Debian 11 on my Framework. Here were the steps I required for installation:
Install Debian
The Intel AX210 wireless card requires non-free firmware and a newer (backported)
kernel. Debian can be installed using an ethernet adapter with the netinstall image, or
alternatively use the full DVD image and manually load the required firmware after
installation using another USB drive.
Modify /etc/apt/sources.list to include non-free and backports
The Framework laptop requires non-free firmware for the AX210 wireless card to
function properly, as well as a backported kernel.
/etc/apt/sources.list
deb https://deb.debian.org/debian bullseye main contrib non-free
deb-src https://deb.debian.org/debian bullseye main contrib non-free
deb https://deb.debian.org/debian-security/ bullseye-security main contrib non-free
deb-src https://deb.debian.org/debian-security/ bullseye-security main contrib non-free
deb https://deb.debian.org/debian bullseye-updates main contrib non-free
deb-src https://deb.debian.org/debian bullseye-updates main contrib non-free
deb https://deb.debian.org/debian bullseye-backports main contrib non-free
deb-src https://deb.debian.org/debian bullseye-backports main contrib non-free
Install required firmware and backported kernel:
apt update && apt install firmware-iwlwifi firmware-misc-nonfree
apt -t bullseye-backports install linux-image-amd64
Reboot the system!
Hopefully that is helpful to someone! Debian seems to work really well on this machine.
