tldr: try the Qubes distro

HUGE disclaimer: The hibernate/sleep function doesn't quite work on qubes on my framework and can freeze the computer. My framework is from 2020 so I just removed the old battery and basically power on and off the laptop every time I move it. It's at home on my desk most of the time but can be REALLY ANNOYING for traditional laptop use cases.

I would recommend qubes. I love it and run it on my framework 13 b/c I can run multiple virtual machines of different distros at once, and also partition my personal, work, amd different hobbies into different "qubes" (vms).

The different distros I do run through qubes all use xfce so you dont quite get the full feeling of trying new distros through its vms. I do recommend trying the qubes distro in general though esp if you're comfortable with linux and you're interested in a distro that partitions out your hobbies/pc-uses.

This project is probs similar to a private and unfederated mastodon instance. I'm curious how a mature version would compare.

This is SOO Cool!
