I wonder how many would just do it for the extra discount and then use massgrave

Edit:

I went to watch their prices for the diy series

  • Win 11 home is +145€
  • Win 11 pro is +259€
  • Ubuntu is free

(Preinstalled, is +220 € for win 11 pro or free Ubuntu, can't get win home edition if preinstalled)

    Who knows. Their target group is usually perfectly capable of installing an OS themselves. But Framework is also a popular hardware brand among Linux users, because their hardware is already built with Linux in mind. If you look at their forum, it does not feel like everyone is just installing Windows on their hardware.

    Even if you want Windows, it's still better to get that edition that works just the same but has most of the bloat cut off, that they made for small business computers.

    If you don't join a domain, win11 pro will automatically install all the sponsored stuff exactly like win11 home at first login. There's no difference in the two editions except only the pro can join a domain. Exactly same level of bloat, even if it's more expensive
