A little off topic:
I've been considering system76 for awhile. I see Dell also offers Linux laptops now and has for awhile. Any reason why I should pick system76?
- zachrose 9y agoThat System76 disables Intel ME is pretty cool.
- throwaway7645 9y agoYea...I should've asked in addition to that.
- mpd 9y agoMy home laptop is from a Kudu Pro from System76, while my work laptop is a Dell Precision 5520, with Ubuntu installed. My current Kudu is a replacement for another Kudu that died after a number of years. For my particular case, the Dell has superior hardware (also, it's about a year newer), but its Ubuntu install has strange problems, and I get crash notification popups somewhat often (including immediately upon logging in for the very first time). The Kudu's install has been rock solid. System76 has far superior support.

Linux is also a first class citizen w/ system76 - Dell has the factory linux xps13 e.g. but I've heard from a handful of friends who use one at work that its obvious Linux was just kinda slapped onto the laptop at the end of manufacturing or whatever. Support is also probably much better with System76.
