Or maybe some of the newer generation will take time to update Linux to be more competitive with macOS for developers. Could be a long term win for Linux fans.

Linux is good for development, but Apple hardware is pretty damned nice.

Now if Framework laptops were available in Norway, I'd probably rather have that, even if they're not as powerful.

Also, depending on where you work, there might be restrictions in the choice of platform. Usually limited to Mac or Windows.

I asked Framework that repeatedly, but no progress. I think they might be violating EU Regulation 2018/302, which is rather common, mostly due to ignorance. The problem is that it is rather hard to enforce such regulation to non-EU/EEA companies. You can still send your wishes to support@frame.work.

Update: you can buy from Norway now, but you need to get it shipped to a different country. You need to select a different country and then chose a billing address different from the shipping one. The message that the website displays on not being able to order from Norway is misleading, and it looks like no email to Norwegian customers has been sent with respect to this possibility. Not perfect, but they got better.
