They had a perfectly working search box in Windows 7, then gutted it and made it search the web whenever you wanted to launch Notepad.

Don't like to see comments like these. I think it violates several HN guidelines, including this one:

> Please don't fulminate. Please don't sneer, including at the rest of the community.

Unfortunately there is no report button.

I got curious and searched up your examples. While the StarBook looks like the most compelling alternative to the Framework laptop with coreboot and good repairability they don't seem to feature any modular ports, which is arguably what sells the Framework laptop for some people. Even for me, the thought of being able to swap out a USB-C charge port for a SD card reader is very appealing.

The other one, the PrimeBook Circular, doesn't appear to be on sale anymore? Their website is gone and an empty parking page loads.

If they had Apple input devices (Magic Keyboard, touchpad, etc) they don't work over the wire.

This feature ("Reactions") should've been opt-in. But Apple knows best for their users :P

Define "easily"? Non-tech-savvy users will never even touch an install USB or know what regedit is. They'll just see the dialog saying "your computer doesn't support Windows 11", chuck it in the bin, and buy a new one.
