Impressive specs for a good price. I can’t imagine needing more than 16 gb of ram for a laptop but it is tempting although I imagine that would tax the battery a bit. Does anyone know how compatible pureos is with Ubuntu apps in general?
- vinceguidry 6y agoPureOS is Debian-based, so the packaging is the same, though the repositories are different. It's not a good idea to install Ubuntu packages onto a Debian based system, though they can work. If you decide you really want Ubuntu, like I did when I got my Librem 13, it's really easy to install. If you want PureBoot that might take some extra doing. I can't tell from a cursory read of the docs whether it works for Ubuntu. Coreboot should work fine though.
- Guest42 6y agoThank you, I’ll have to investigate.
- torgian 6y agoI think it could be worth trying to dual-boot the system as well, one with Ubuntu. Then you could potentially have best of both worlds.
- KAMSPioneer 6y agoPureboot with Ubuntu will work fine. I got Pureboot working on Fedora, which just took some fiddling (and help from the Pureboot Matrix room).
