      I think OP means “just work” as in the OS is preinstalled. Framework do support Linux but they don’t preinstall a distro for you.

      Having said that, I’ve got a Framework 16 and it’s very nice.

        I wouldn’t expect folks working on Linux to be discouraged by the sweat equity of something as small as running the installer for an OS. I definitely read “just work” to mean having all components supported by the OS, regular updates available, etc.

        Years ago it was literally impossible to get a laptop without OS. It’s a good enough option compared to what we had to suffer before.

        When I checked out during purchasing my 16 I seem to remember the options being “no OS (bring your own), Fedora, Ubuntu, and Windows.” I chose no OS because I was planning on installing FedoraKDE with FDE which wasn’t an option, but, I assumed that by choosing Fedora as my option it would come preinstalled, or does it come with an install USB to do it yourself?

          Bought one very recently, the options are

          • buy a prebuilt and it will come with windows pre-installed
          • buy a DIY edition and the SSD will be new in box with nothing installed on it
            • you can opt for a windows license, but it is just a digital download for the installer

            Damn, I preordered mine, and definitely remember the option despite not choosing it. I wonder why they took it off. If I had a guess it’s because anyone ordering a framework probably wanted to install the OS themselves for encryption like me or whatever other reason, so almost nobody chose that probably lol.
