From linux perspective which is better, Framework or System76?
I have been looking to upgrade my laptop (i5-8250U) with something decent. I don't game, so dont require heavy graphics that draws too much power.
System76 is a bit strange. Their laptops are more expensive than other windows brands, while offering Linux. I'm not sure if it's really worth going with them, as a lot of other laptops ca work with Linux. Tho maybe I missed something about their laptops.
Framework I think I saw some Poole saying it has some issues running Linux with some component incompatibilities. Tho you may want to do more research, maybe even opening some reddit threads and dodging useless comments.
I honestly dont mind paying a bit premium to System76 if they have good quality and better support for Linux.
I have grown tired of the cheap hinges that have been plaguing laptops.
Yeah... I'm not sure about the quality being really better than competition. Tho maybe Linux support may be better depending on what components different laptops use.
I'm 90% sure all of System76's offerings are rebadged Clevo laptops.
There's an explanation of the relationship floating somewhere online, but yeah. S76 works with Clevo to design their products, then does the software and firmware support in-house. Clevo will offer their own product reusing portions—i.e. the chassis—of the S76 model.
