I don’t really need a gaming laptop so was considering the framework 13. If anyone has any experience with it please share! Bonus points for any details of using Linux on it and/or the AMD version.

I've had mine (12th gen Intel) for several months now and have exclusively used Linux (Fedora and Arch) on it the whole time (I never had to buy a windows key!). It's generally been great, with only a few issues with the screen due to its unusual resolution. I have to scale stuff to around 1.25 for it to be usable, which has led to a few problems due to HiDPI support still being a bit lacking right now on Linux. Except for that one issue (which is slowly going away), it has generally worked extremely smoothly and I would highly reccomend it. The screen in particular, aside from the HiDPI issues, has been amazing, with its 3:2 aspect ratio being perfect for productivity.
