If this laptop is real deal, for me, it will be really hard decision which one to buy; StarFighter or Framework.

Practically as upgradable and maintainable/repairable as the framework. They sell all of the components separately, and this runs a fully up-to-date coreboot and even esoteric linux systems get tested on it. It is a significantly better Linux computer.

Well, it might be a better Linux computer when it ships. The StarBook Mk VI ran about 6 months behind schedule (pre-orders are still shipping now: https://support.starlabs.systems/status/f38fed83-e6a1-454c-8...) though so I wouldn't set your watch to it...

Why did they feel the need to move the backslash key?

You're looking at the UK keyboard. For some reason they have it next to the left shift.

I live in the UK and can’t stand that crackpot layout that thinks the paragraph mark and the negation sign trump bacquote and tilde, so I buy my laptops from the US, except for Apple who allow you to choose your keyboard layout as an option.

Pretty cool especially with Ryzen CPU option. Does it support USB 4 with Ryzen too?

In September they said the Ryzen versions wouldn't have USB4 support [1] but in November they said it would. If it's important for you it might be best to contact their support to confirm which it is.

I’d love to know about a good laptop for Linux that has 32gb RAM and a decent amount of IO and a decent keyboard.

The HP DevOne goes up to 64GB. Terrible screen, however. https://browser.geekbench.com/v5/cpu/16189462

HP DevOne is all sold out: https://hpdevone.com/
