Any plans for a different keyboard layout? I see you have planned for different languages, but I didn't see different layouts.

We currently have ANSI and ISO layouts for languages, and JIS coming soon. Within this form factor, those are likely what we are limited to.

How feasible do you think an ortholinear layout would be?

It is technically possible, but the cost of custom tooling for it would be unfortunately be astronomical relative to the number that we could reasonably sell. At some point in the future as we continue to grow the Framework Laptop install base, we'd love to revisit that though!
