It's a shame it's not an option for the preconfigured version. Especially as the DIY Laptop pricing has Windows 10 at ~$200.

Yeah, but I’d rather not pay for that Windows license.

Edit: Oh, I see that you have to DIY the entire laptop in order to NOT select a Windows OS.

That is correct, DIY Edition comes without an OS installed or an OS license (though you can add a Windows license).

We’ve made the setup process for the DIY Edition really straightforward, and we think kind of fun too: https://guides.frame.work/Guide/Framework+Laptop+DIY+Edition...
