Just a bad title. It’s “Ubuntu Certified”, as Canonical has added it to their certified program.
Framework, the company, has stated that Ubuntu and Fedora work well on their devices and that Fedora is(was?) recommended.
I got my Framework 13 in early 2026 and been running CachyOS on it since day one. Haven’t had any incompatibility issues at all.
The “Ubuntu Certified” label is supposed to help schools and businesses use it for purchasing power to say “oh these repairable laptops are also officially supported by Ubuntu” if they wanted to use Ubuntu in the workplace.
