Greetings all,

An important part of the Linux Page is this section near the top:

You can check out our Knowledgebase article for more information about our officially supported Linux distributions versus the compatible community supported distributions.

This provides a link to this page:

Which summarizes this:

This was written to clarify how we support Linux and what that means to Framework users.

Officially Supported Linux Distributions:

  • Official support means we work with the Ubuntu and Fedora teams to do our best to avoid bugs and regressions.

  • We provide official support for Ubuntu 20.04 LTS, 22.04 LTS (Long Term Support) releases.

  • We provide official support for Fedora 37 and Fedora 38.

  • We provide consistently updated install guides.

  • We provide support ticket assistance.

  • We provide help through the community forums.

Compatible Community Supported Linux Distributions:

  • Community support for Ubuntu 22.10, Manjaro XFCE 22.0, Linux Mint 21.1.

  • We provide periodically updated install guides.

  • We provide best efforts assistance through the community forums.

  • If a ticket is opened, we’ll help as much as possible, but likely will redirect the customer to the support forum for their distribution.

Untested Linux Distributions:

  • Any distribution or release not listed above.

The TLTR version is this:

  • Officially supported distros are distros we actively work with, run and test against. These are the distros we will pair with troubleshooting against as we have the means of working with issues in this space.

  • Community Supported distros are distros we’ve built guides for, do not test against often and do not have the cycles to provide ongoing support for.

  • Distros not listed above are strictly untested, no guides put together. Arch, Debian, Nix are popular examples.
