I’ve been using Macs since toy 2016 MacBook Pro 13" but, considering the price to upgrade components and repairability, I’m really considering jumping to a Framework AMD and choosing either Fedora or Ubuntu. I’m really only familiar with Ubuntu since my early HS days when I was learning how to dual-boot the OS on a Windows 7 laptop but I’m open to other distros if anyone can think of something better.

I’m not too worried about software since I’ve already started transitioning to open source photography software like darktable and using 3rd party browsers and email clients, so not having Safari or Mail won’t kill me.

Any suggestions on other Linux distros? Experiences with KDE Connect to get mobile notifications on laptops? Whether it’s better to use Intel or AMD? Would love feedback from the Framework Linux users!
