Apples and oranges, kind of. Frameworks are repairable and have some hardware transparency, but aren't open, libre, free-as-in-freedom, or privacy focused like StarLabs. (EDIT: Looks like the 16" Frameworks are 16:10 like the Starfighter, vs. the 3:2 13" Frameworks.) Starfighters are Linux-first, Frameworks are Linux-compatible, and there are rougher edges on Linux Frameworks.
If you want a better or more libre Linux laptop right now, get a Starfighter. If you want a laptop with more hardware hackability and replacement options, at the expense of libre/privacy features, battery life, supported Linux options, and high-end performance, Framework's an option.
