TLDR:
Windows 11 v24H2 and beyond will have Recall installed on every system. Attempting to remove Recall will now break some file explorer features such as tabs.

No judgement here; but it always bothers me when a laptop only comes with Windows preinstalled, when 1) it makes the device more expensive, and 2) I don’t need it.
This is one of the reason I like Framework laptops. Not only are they user serviceable/repairable, but they also don’t force you to pay extra for a Windows license. Hell, they even sell motherboard upgrades if you want to turn you older Framework laptop into the newest one.
Funny you say that, I’ve been looking into getting one recently. They seem great.
I didn’t have much choice. Where I am imports are heavily restricted and the market is not very keen on alternatives anyways. I already had a slim number of options to begin with. Importing a linux first brand, a used thinkpad or a fancy framework as is the fashion on the first world would’ve cost me about three times what I paid for the model I got, and I already got it with a bit of overcharge. Just on port fees, taxes, etc. Trust me, I did my research and this was the best performance and compatibility with linux for money I could get where I am. Windows 11 license cost is not even a factor, we just don’t get a choice to not factor it in the price.
