Yeah, similar where I moved from about 8 years ago. We joined, they reached their numbers, and then.. nothing happened. We moved away, and it seems to be the same as when we left it. Still no store, but got a website etc.

Ah, I see your claim. Is the firmware confirmed to be the same? Even with the same chips, the firmware would likely diverge between Windows and Linux (ACPI code, BIOS, EC, etc)

Sure, I can look up Dell Linux products. However, the assertion was that they're just branded white box computers, so Im asking what the white box equivalents are, and to what extent they're really equivalent.

by trelane 4y ago
What were the equivalent white box vendors and did they ship with the same firmwares? Citation to read up in this?

Which models did they do that with? I'd heard the xps with Linux was pretty good, at least for a while.

> Companies that sell laptops with preinstalled Linux are far more often than not just selling rebranded "windows hardware." What examples do you have of this?

That sounds like what I'd expect with Framework. Modern hardware is complex enough that you have to specifically target and support an OS, and afaict, framework just kind of doesn't . It's sold either with windows or as-is,

Yes, running Linux on Windows hardware is often a recipe for misery, or at least dealing with obscure kernel parameters. Which is why I've said and will say again: slapping Linux on Windows hardware is a mug's game. Buy it prein

Depends on the scale of your foothold

Don't you know that you're supposed to run Linux in WSL, and use teams outside the VM, in Windows? ;)

I think usually the argument is that they're leveraging an _existing_ foothold to gain advantage in a _new_ market. So the existing foothold is MS Office and MS Office 360, and the new market is messaging. How they gained this foothold

Wonder how this compares to NitroKey, which also is open, but not FPGA-based. It's almost certainly a good time to update https://lwn.net/Articles/736231/

> Sometimes hiring great researchers and letting them do what they want pays off Almost like research is not a guaranteed thing. Kinda like you're trying to figure out the unknown.

Eh, there's only so much of that to be had. At some point, it becomes formulaic.

This relates with me deeply. I once was almost literally told to "work harder, not smarter." Fortunately for my sanity, I was able to leave that place soon thereafter. It's not that the work was hard, it was just kinda stupi
