I wonder if there is some market pressure from players like System76?
For anyone coming along- I managed two Lenovo ThinkStation P7 series towers and these cases (the P5 series looks almost identical) are really great. Everything in the case is screw-less / tool-less. I can't remember how the M.2 drives mounted- they may have had a screw but it was a great case.
- mikece 7y agoSpeeaking of System 76: is Pop_OS easier to use than Mint? Does it support things like watching Netflix and DVDs without needing to look for packages and apps to install?
- Zhyl 7y agoFor Netflix and DVDs both are the same (seamless out-of-the-box). Pop!_OS has an advantage on NVidia drivers as you can select a download which includes them and enables them by default. Mint includes a driver manager which makes installation straightforward, but it's an additional step and nouveau is enabled by default. I recently installed pop on my new build because the graphics card I was using caused crashes on nouveau (Mint) but worked flawlessly out of the box with the NVidia drivers on pop.
- dhruvkar 7y agoI've been using a Thinkpad (P52s) with Pop_OS! for about a year now, and was flawless to install (with Nvidia drivers). Pleasantly, bluetooth, speakers, mic all have worked right out of the box. I can paid it to Airpods and the mic just works. Its been a step up from my recordings with (L)ubuntu and If say it's been on par with macOS.
- kyawzazaw 7y agoYes, way easier to use personally. For netflix, it works out of the box.
- dorfsmay 7y agoA LOT of us buy Lenovos for the track point and its 3 buttons. System 76 doesn't offer an equivalent.
