Linux Mint partners with Framework Laptops, aiming for full compatibility with easy-to-upgrade, high-quality laptops for Linux users.

The October 2024 edition of Linux Mint’s Monthly News brings exciting updates, including a significant announcement about collaboration with Framework Laptops, having potential to advance Mint’s compatibility with hardware designed with flexibility, repairability, and sustainability in mind.

For those unfamiliar, unlike most traditional laptops, which are often difficult or impossible to repair or upgrade, Framework laptops are built to be user-friendly, making it easy to replace or upgrade components. This modular approach extends the laptop’s lifespan and promotes sustainability by reducing e-waste.

      Ofc, no problem.
      Since this thread was initially about beginner friendly distros, I wanted to ensure I wasn’t going around recommending an inferior or problematic distro to new users as their first experience.
