I’m trying to figure out primary distro for framework 16. Currently using fedora for about year. I’ve package installation automated through ansible so technically using new distro is not big hassle still want to see if there is any other way of easily distro-hoping on bare metal.
I’m long time user of Ubuntu and now pop os so that’s one option and other is bazzite (or similar immutable). I would like to try at least those 2.
It’s not any more sus than running any FOSS project binaries obtained from github. And OP wants to test a bunch of live environments, so that’s not really a security-critical environment.
I’d suggest it’s collective laziness over any even potentially malicious intent. The author listed about the 180 blobs they are aware of, the vast majority from FOSS projects.
