The pre-built versions ship with Windows 10. The Framework Laptop DIY Edition ships without an OS installed.

Does this implies I will need to pay Microsoft tax even if I am planning to run Linux?
The Framework Laptop DIY Edition ships without an OS license of any kind. If you want a pre-built Framework Laptop, that does include the cost of a Windows license. The DIY Edition is super easy to set up though: https://guides.frame.work/Guide/Framework+Laptop+DIY+Edition...
Thanks.
Selecting Windows adds +$139/+$199 to the price (for Home/Pro versions), so no.
