Linux certified?
I've got a fucking 1997 spectrum analyzer running Linux.
What's that even mean? It runs Linux? It is Linux optimized?
Oh tell me it comes with a "Linux Inside" sticker on it.
Realistically I'd imagine they are trying to say all the hardware drivers are supported... That's just an annoying marketing term for something that should be easy.
Just a bad title. It's "Ubuntu Certified", as Canonical has added it to their certified program.
Framework, the company, has stated that Ubuntu and Fedora work well on their devices and that Fedora is(was?) recommended.
I got my Framework 13 in early 2026 and been running CachyOS on it since day one. Haven't had any incompatibility issues at all.
The "Ubuntu Certified" label is supposed to help schools and businesses use it for purchasing power to say "oh these repairable laptops are also officially supported by Ubuntu" if they wanted to use Ubuntu in the workplace.
They way I see it is just that they've made sure you've got propper drivers, and that you won't have to worry over driver issues, even from day 1
