From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Kinda disappointing as it shows a lack of care and support for Linux, but hopefully the fix will come out soon.
I look forward to seeing the Linux numbers.
Been pretty involved with Framework, having the first gen and waiting for the AMD upgrade kit to ship.
They've been pretty transparent about these bios issues to the backers, they've been sending emails on the updates and resolution steps between Framework, the bios manufacturer, and AMD.
So yeah, this looks bad from the outside, but all of the stakeholders are on the same page and they're really setting the example for how a company should treat their customers.
It was a kernel regression that caused the issue, not sure that is entirely their fault. I would think that's more on AMD and the kernel devs.
