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.

I have had an s76 wild dog which was amazing for an 11 year run, and I just replaced that with a meerkat. I also have a thelio which has been flawless. System76's desktops are amazing.
In 2013 I bought a darter and it's the worst laptop I've ever owned. I went through 4 keyboards and still it doesn't work, also the wifi radio is under the keyboard and you get a 50% signal reduction when typing. It had one of those trapdoor Ethernet ports which broke, so I basically became a dead device. That is an old metric, but it scared me off from buying laptops from them until they get their own hardware pipeline for them.
I choose to be between Adder WS (RTX 4060) and Pangolin. Pangolin would be a downgrade from my RTX 2060 though.
Thanks for sharing your opinion, very appreciated. 🤙
They used to be but I'm not sure now; I think when they release the full self-manufactured ones I will want one.
