Disclaimer: I'm not affiliated in any way to any of the parties involved in this review. I just enjoy reading Solène's writings in general and found myself to be especially in fond of this specific article. I share this in the hopes that others might somehow benefit from this as well!

The relevance of the review for this specific community would be that NovaCustom produces excellent laptops to be used with Linux (and other open source operating systems). Furthermore, in the review the reviewer installs a bunch of different distros and tests how they work on the device. Perhaps most importantly; Qubes OS -which is endorsed by Privacy Guides- has this specific device on their Certified hardware page. Which already is very commendable, however it's extra special when one realizes it's the only laptop with a modern CPU on the list.

Also, from what I understand, they accept Monero for their laptops.

That's very cool. I didn't even know that. Thank you for mentioning that!
