I myself have much success with Linux Mint (eg. Cinnamon edition). I love Mint.. It just works.. It's stable and I can focus on doing my work under Linux, which is software development mostly. But I just don't have the time to debug my distro, fixing things and compile stuff myself. I already need to manage multiple PCs & servers running Linux. Hence I went with Linux Mint on both my desktop PCs as well as my laptop I'm currently typing on.
I tested things like: bluetooth, wifi, speedtest, webcam, shortcuts (eg. sound buttons or brightness buttons at the top), trackpad, multiple finger gestures. The only thing I didn't yet test is the finger print reader, if it has one?..
Framework laptops can also come with many expansion cards, like HDMI, DisplayPort, network (LAN) port, USB a, USB c, and so much more. I also tested those in-/outputs. Thus far everything seem to work nicely. I did switch the wifi card, I replaced the stock wifi card with a Intel AX210, which seems to work much better under Linux in terms of not only speed, but also signal strength. Let me know if you want to know more..
