Getting Debian to work takes a bit more effort. You'll have to enable

add the fingerprint reader manually. I haven't tried it personally,
but people who say it works well once those things are taken care of.
There are threads on the Framework community site that detail what you
need to do.
That doesn't sound that far off what I did for this XPS-13. Non-free I
have on, and I don't use fingerprint readers. Last I looked I thought I
saw problems with things like hibernate to swap, but the specifics don't
directly matter to me until this machine goes out of service, which I
hope I can postpone a good while longer.
Thanks for the general report on the Framework machines.
Oh, a question: Because they are so easily dismantled, I am worried they
aren't physically as tough as a machine designed to not be opened. I
like using a little notebook computer as a very portable thing that I
frequently carry about. How tough do they seem to you?
