For now both DIY and prebuild edition (all configurations) are in batch 4 which ships in late Q4 2023.
What sort of Linux compatibility can we expect with this generation?
Removed by mod
Looks like Framework has a Linux compatibility guide and the fingerprint reader is probably the thing that won’t work out of the box for most distros.

For some of them. The others say “Not officially supported”.

Manjaro and Linux Mint are on that list and say “not officially supported.”
It should be fully compatible, right? Ryzen 7 doesn’t require a specific driver for Linux, it’s supported by the Linux kernel. I think the only issue would be a specific driver for the GPU.
The GPU driver should already be in mesa, no?
I think it’s usually things like trackpads and WiFi modules that typically have compatibility issues with Linux.
If you stick with Ubuntu LTS or Fedora you should have full support out of the box
