I recently took delivery of a framework, primarily because of the repairability
and upgradeability of it.

I normally run fbsd but needed linux for a couple of apps.  I put ubuntu
21.10 on it and so far it's been pretty good.  If someone would give me a good
recommendation for a dual boot loader I would consider reloading it with both
ubuntu and fbsd.
