- klooney 4y agoSurprising to see tiny Star Labs in there
- ddalex 4y agoThis makes me feel better about their laptop offerings, which seem very good.
- solarkraft 4y agoAwesome, is this basically the "what should I buy for running Linux on it" list?
- commoner 4y agoYes, but it's not complete. I'd also include manufacturers that maintain Linux distros designed to support their devices, such as System76 (Pop!_OS), Purism (PureOS), and Tuxedo Computers (Tuxedo OS), if you're willing to use these distros. These 3 manufacturers have their own firmware update methods outside of LVFS.
