Rebuilt from the ground up and featuring top-of-the-line Intel and AMD options, the 13 Pro still has the company\u2019s fully repairable, upgradeable ethos at its core. That\u2019s the kind of thing that turns heads in the FOSS world, and indeed the company says the Ubuntu variant is outselling the Windows variant.<\/p>\n<p>To be clear right off the bat, this info is coming from a promotional tweet put out by Framework. Taking the company at its word, the only real information we have is that it\u2019s selling quickly by Framework\u2019s internal metrics, with six batches of the Intel version of the laptop already sold out. \u201cAlso nice validation of our approach, the Ubuntu configurations are outselling the Windows ones!\u201d <\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s not really surprising, for a few reasons. One, if you\u2019re buying a Framework laptop, you have a good reason to order it without an OS, even if you want Windows 11. It\u2019s easy to get it free or cheap elsewhere. (Framework says it\u2019s not counting the \u201cNone (bring your own)\u201d option in these Ubuntu numbers.) Two, there are precious few places to order a new laptop with any kind of Linux pre-loaded\u2014you\u2019ve got Framework, a few smaller vendors like System76 and Slimbook, and a few models from Dell. Lenovo sold Ubuntu-loaded laptops at one point, but I can\u2019t find any on the site right now.<\/p>\n<p>So, yeah, we\u2019re talking about an&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcworld.com\/article\/3123900\/framework-new-linux-laptop-is-selling-faster-than-its-windows-one.html\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Framework&#8217;s new Linux laptop is selling faster than its Windows one https:\/\/www.pcworld.com\/article\/3123900\/framework-new-linux-laptop-is-selling-faster-than-its-windows-one.html Publish Date: 2026-04-24&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":235175,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.pcworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Framework-Laptop-13-Pro-alt-1.png?w=1024","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[48],"tags":[71,79],"class_list":["post-235174","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-linux","tag-linux","tag-ubuntu"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/235174"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=235174"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/235174\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":235176,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/235174\/revisions\/235176"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/235175"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=235174"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=235174"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=235174"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
