Help with laptop buying decision

I'm looking for a new work laptop and I'd like to jump to Linux at the same time. I was hoping to get some input from here because I'm still undecided!

Maybe some context first : the switch is not urgent. My current machine still works. I'd like to change it because of a few quirks and problems (for me) it has, it will find a happy owner afterwards. As for the job, I'm a dev (mostly Java and web). I need something that can run a few docker containers, multiple instances of intellij, but that's pretty much it and it's not a complicated requirement to fill. Also, I'm in Europe.

I've been looking mostly at Tuxedo and Framework, with a preference for the later 16 inch model.

Does anybody have experience with Linux support on the framework 16? With, for example, Fedora? Other than that, any recommendation / thing to pay attention to? I have some experience with Linux but it's been a while since I've run it as a desktop os, and my knowledge has never been in depth, so any help will be greatly appreciated :)
