Status
The device boots NixOS.
Known issues
In order to boot you need to disable Secure Boot. To do that, press F2 during boot and go into the "Administer Secure Boot" menu.
Configuration
Framework-specific NixOS hardware options are bundled within the nixos-hardware project.
BIOS
BIOS updates are distributed through LVFS, which can be used by enabling the fwupd service:
services.fwupd.enable = true;
To check for updates and install them, run:
$ fwupdmgr update
Further instructions and release notes can be found on the Framework BIOS and Drivers knowledgebase.
AMD AI 300 Series
Use an installer with Linux kernel 6.12 or later (at least NixOS Release 25.05 / NixOS Unstable).

AMD 7040 Series
It is recommended to use power-profiles-daemon over tlp for the AMD framework. If standby power consumption is too high (multiple watts) ensure the BIOS version is at least 3.05[1].

Intel Core Ultra Series 1
Personal experience: On NixOS 24.11 the default kernel appears to be to old (no display brightness adjustment and increased power consumption). Using a newer kernel seems to run nicely:
boot.kernelPackages = pkgs.linuxPackages_6_14;
