o7 sir, we appreciate your sacrifice, taking one for the team.

[@one_step_sideways]

Notice how he never mentioned Arch and didn't say it was his favourite distro. This is because, unlike all Arch users, he is employed

[@s0me1newithhand7s]

NixOS mentioned. peace founded.

[@MikoKnight]

Let the distro wars begin.

[@noahflare6825]

FrameWork needs to win Enterprise/Goverment customers. That would help accelerate the growth of the brand

[@heroclix0rz]

His favorite boat is the Ship of Theseus

[@godminnette2]

Been running NixOS on my framework and loving it!

[@vimjoyer]

NixOS is the best 💪💪💪

[@NoNo-wj8oh]

The fact that your employee base is skewed towards Linux is amazing. This gives me so much hope!

[@Krishnajha20101]

Please launch in India. This can be a great laptop for students.

[@Nintron]

Arch mentions? 0

[@AQDuck]

Framework went from "we don't officially support or recommend Linux but we won't make it difficult for you"

[@fedfer]

NixOS mentioned, I am in disbelief, I have reached pure ecstasy

[@derockx]

didn't expect NixOS to be mentioned

[@user-bp8yg3ko1r]

Nirav, if you're reading this:

[@dorfen6507]

The fact that everyone in the company are such huge f***ing nerd using Linux, that they need to sacrifice one of them to at least make sure Windows work is hilarious to me.

[@stoicfloor]

I'm running NixOS on my framework. Never been happier. Best laptop purchase ever!

[@wtfdocsub]

I love that this company is so in tune with the community.

[@michelfug]

I wish these questions were read out loud for accessibility reasons (or watching CZcams while doing chores reasons 😅)

[@mateowoetam]

I'm glad Fedora 40 was added to the list of officially supported distros, this opens up the door to a lot of Fedora based distros to also work just as well.
