I've taken to having a Fedora 35 install on a bootable USB SSD. I don't prefer it for daily use (Ubuntu/Pop for me) but if I'm ever in doubt when debugging a suspected Framework issue I boot into Fedora 35 as that's the semi-official/supported distro and version.

Generally speaking I haven't found it to be any better than my Framework optimized PopOS 20.04 NVMe boot setup:

- Rock solid Intel wifi (mostly thanks to Pop providing kernel 5.15.15)

- Fingerprint reader works (custom fprintd/libfprint debs, kind of hacky but works)

- PipeWire PPA for better bluetooth audio support

- Suspend-then-hibernate for battery drain issues

- Probably some other stuff I'm forgetting ATM

- Quickemu

- Still basically Ubuntu LTS for the occasionally goofy/proprietary stuff I need to run requiring it
