You can say they aren't working on the right things - or that they aren't doing enough. All fair - but clearly they aren't just installing Linux on OEM laptops.
- smacktoward 8y agoNo, not really. I was talking about the stuff you see when you go to buy a System76 laptop, i.e. https://system76.com/laptops https://system76.com/laptops. And as an outsider to this particular corner of the Linux world, what I've seen following this back-and-forth is a fight between System76 and someone from GNOME who says System76 is making his life more difficult. As someone who uses GNOME on all his machines, that is not the kind of relationship between a hardware vendor and the GNOME project that would encourage me to buy their hardware.
- slededit 8y agoBug lists don't sell laptops. I can't see them changing their marketing. For the people who want more technical information they have their blog. Although as seen here its a bit of a mixed blessing for them. But I'm more upset with the people who say just go buy a Clevo that they OEM. A company spends time and money to bring good Linux support and people want to end run around them to save a few bucks. This is why Linux doesn't have great laptop support - nobody will pay for it.
