    Does Framework do anything regarding FOSS drivers or firmware?

      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.

        It’s good to know it uses drivers already there. Sadly being part of the kernal somehow doesn’t guarantee the driver are not proprietary binary blobs.
