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 just can't get over the 1080p screen. It's the one thing that's always held me back from buying a System 76.
i can't get over how much more they cost than a similarly spec'ed mac with macs being superior in every single benchmark (except privacy and customizability)
Mac are only competitive on the smallest configuration, as you start to add the same options to each the Mac pricing goes through the roof while this one's price will only increase by a bit.
My rule of thumb is HP for corporate clients that require Windows. ThinkPad for Linux running Pop!_OS Nvidia. Mac for music. Right tool for each job.
The pricing I think is a scale thing. System 76 is a small brand building systems, mostly stateside.
