The Framework Linux support matrix outlines the minimum and recommended kernel versions required for each hardware generation to ensure proper driver support, power management, and hardware functionality. Using the recommended or latest kernel avoids issues—making this matrix essential for a smooth Linux experience.

> _\*Note: We did not list the Framework Laptop 13 11th, 12th and 13th Gen Intel Core platforms in the Framework Computer Platforms grid as any callouts are outlined in the other grids below it._
