Six Ground-Breaking New Linux Laptops Released in the Last Two Weeks

• haswell 4y ago
  I started dabbling with Linux around 2001. As I got deeper into the ecosystem, particularly trying to run Linux on the laptops available at the time, I dreamt of a day when we’d have good (mobile) Linux hardware. A common sentiment at the time was that Linux would never be a viable desktop OS, and thinking otherwise was well…dreaming. It’s so incredible exciting to see the continued evolution of Linux-first hardware in the 2020s, with Framework at the forefront. As trust in institutions and mega vendors continues to erode, I can’t help but feel like this is the moment Linux was made for. The idealism of the time is now realized as a real alternative to closed solutions - solutions that are increasingly hard to trust. It’s gratifying to see as an aging Linux nerd. I hope it continues.

    To add to your saying: Probably this is the Linux year we anticipated for so long. Maybe it's here!

    It managed to avoid the same fate as Digg.

      and Slashdot was founded way before Digg (about 7 years)

  Several of these are just updates of existing laptops to use newer generation of CPU, not "ground-breaking" at all.
