Kevin Karhan :verified:<a href="https://infosec.space/@CppGuy" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@CppGuy</a> AFAICT, <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/Tuxedo" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Tuxedo</a> is shipping to the <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/UK" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#UK</a> too, and most of what they sell are <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/Clevo" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Clevo</a> barebones as well.Tho the <a href="https://fosstodon.org/@frameworkcomputer" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@frameworkcomputer</a> / <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/FrameworkLaptop" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FrameworkLaptop</a> is propably the best option if repairability is impirtant to you, as they do have a lot of configurations in two "Frames" of 13" & 16"...
