Ive had one of the higher end System76 machines purely as a work (software development) laptop for over a year, and I absolutely love it. They (appear to) have great customer service, I like their products, and would absolutely consider them for my next dev laptop. This is mainly in response to that Reddit thread from many years ago which basically spread the neg against System76. I was cautious due to being biased from the negative reviews of the past, but would consider my experience evidence that its at least not that way now :).
