From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I have seen plenty of laptops with that many ports. A laptop I had back in the day had a full sized HDMI, VGA, Ethernet, micro-sd and several USB ports, and it was the same size as the framework.
The framework 13 would be a better laptop if they just included all the ports instead of making it modular. They could have done that.
Great! Can you buy a replacement motherboard to upgrade it to current-gen Intel or AMD? Laptops with that many ports are a rarity now. If you want to dispute my claim you can send me the model number of a sort-of recent laptop with
...you get the point.
How much are the replacement motherboards on a Framework?
