I would definitely not advise using the 12th gen due to the weird task scheduling!
The 11th gen Framework should work though! Although I haven’t tried.

Might I suggest running Linux as host with Windows 7 in a VM? That would at least mitigate some of the security issues. Or Qubes as the host.
Short answer, no. 12th Gen Intel Core Framework Laptops have hardware that is only officially supported in Windows 11 (for Windows OS).
