Long-time Ubuntu fan here, been using Ubuntu as my desktop of choice since 2005, and even I think this reads like advertorial for System76.
BTW, if you do this move, give Xubuntu a go. Ever since Unity and GNOME 3, XFCE has managed the elusive trick of not fucking up and not inflicting an exercise in gratuitous architecture astronautics on the end user. You might think that sounds easy and straightforward not to do, but evidently it's eluded all of KDE, GNOME and Canonical.
- wuschel 10y agoI second this. I have switched from Windows 7 to Xubuntu and have never looked back. It runs smoothly on a X61 IBM Notebook with 4 GB RAM. If I have to use an expensive software suite that is only available on Windows/MacOS, I Switch to virtualized Windows 7 mashine.
