The chassis is the only real difference. The boards are all compatible. The core 300 series Intel board might be exclusive to it for now, but they said it’s compatible with the old chassis so it’s just that they just don’t offer the board separately yet. No wait they have a listing for it so I’m just blind. https://frame.work/products/laptop13pro-mainboard-intel-ultra-3?v=FRANJZ0007
Did they ever post sales figures for no OS vs Windows? You can’t assume no OS = Linux, but considering the target demographic I bet 80% of them planned on using Linux on it.
is the hardware different somehow?
Different than what? You mean between Linux and Windows? No, but you can have them pre-install an OS of your choice.

Same exact computer, they just don’t charge you for the windows license. So it’s a bit cheaper.
