From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Virgo will have features which can't be found from Framework:
The motherboard itself is also open-source: https://github.com/system76/virgo/
If they can also set the production line in the US, it'll be a fresh wind of change in the electeonics manufacturing since 1980's, when everyhthing was send to Asia.
They haven't announced anything on that matter so far. I bet you don't realize how big logistical and economical push a pcb-production line for even just 25cm x 15 cm boards would be.
