it is and has great compatibility with office formats, such as password protected excel spreadsheets.

There is, I must’ve somehow missed it

You were right! Idk how I didn’t see that!

eGPUs don’t have enough pcie lanes. They’d bottleneck a CPU like this too badly to be worth it.

Can’t remember having seen that, but I’ll take another look once I get home from work. Thanks for the hint!

I’m going to buy a new laptop the second framework offers this CPU.

The start menu entries are stored in an encrypted file somewhere beneath a thousand different folders. But its possible to copy a cleaned start menu file and paste it in the correct directory in the default user folder to give new users an ad-free start menu.

I am shocked that anything regarding Microsoft and windows contains spyware.

My 15 years old Linux laptop can still do everything (except gaming new titles)

Framework laptops are, as far as I know, certified for Ubuntu. Meaning that any distro should run just fine, if maybe with some slight modifications, but Ubuntu (and its derivates) will work perfectly.

well, technically, they reintroduced the XTX naming, as it was already a thing in the early 2010s. Still a bad idea though and I’d prefer they ditch it again.
