Does Framework do anything regarding FOSS drivers or firmware?

[-] uthredii@programming.dev 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

I have personally used fedora and nixos on a gen 1 framework 13 and it works great.

Does Framework do anything regarding FOSS drivers or firmware?

Regarding your question they say this:

We deliberately selected components and modules that didn’t require new kernel driver development and have been providing distro maintainers with pre-release hardware to test to improve compatibility. We’re also working on enabling firmware updates through LVFS to complete the Linux experience.
