I considered buying a System76 Lemur not too long ago because I liked the machine's specs and enjoy popOS, but after seeing QC issues with System76's OEM decided against it and got a Thinkpad X1 Nano instead.
Interested to see how their in-house laptop project goes though.
- smoldesu 6y agoThinkpads have always been the authentic Linux experience in my eyes, especially the models after 2009. I love what modern companies are doing with Linux laptops, but the Thinkpad is still the same, unrivaled, robust monster it has always been. There's nothing special about it, and that's why it's special. It feels standard issue, and hardware failure is a lot less sporadic than Macbooks.
- noisy_boy 6y agoI am using Pop!_OS on Thinkpad X1 Extreme Gen 2 - everything works (though switching between dedicated and integrated graphics has rough edges). Perfectly fine for normal use.
- spacemanmatt 6y agoPopOS! is really nice and I am thinking about installing it on my (non-System76) hardware, instead of Ubuntu.
- schmorptron 6y agoIt is! The only issue afaik is that it doesn't support wayland yet, so you won't be getting any of the nice tracked trackpad gestures (unless something has changed since I last checked).
- spacemanmatt 6y agoWayland has trackpad gestures? I have plugged in a mouse, because I could not deal with a trackpad sans gestures.
