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.

Didn't know about this vendor.
Looking at their page the prces look a bit steep for me.
I understand where this is coming from. Buying a spec-wise similar device from say Lenovo would definitely be cheaper. Unfortunately, whether it is System76, TUXEDO or NovaCustom, we pay a premium for the fact that they're Linux-first.
yeah, €1500 for an i7 with 32 GB RAM and 1 TB SSD is just a bit too high compared to a ThinkPad that runs linux pretty well. :D
I got those same specs for like 250$ on a used dell latitude that supports ubuntu natively lol. And runs other distros perfectly too.
