Changing the EC would require a national constitutional amendment. If you're looking to make the presidential results look more like the national vote, there is an easier step that only requires changing your state. End winner-takes-al

They work with Clevo to develop them[3], and make the hardware work with Linux[0], preferably in firmware (so you don't generally need the System76 driver). They also set them up with CoreBoot and open source EC[1]. Although Clevo can

Well yes. Strategically, it makes all kinds of sense for them to force people who want to run Linux into their walled garden. Sure, you can run Linux, as long as it's safely contained inside Windows, an approved version, and preferably

The wider problem is that, as long as Microsoft is superdominant in the PC market, Linux OEMs will still be affected by Microsoft's decrees, because they don't (yet?) have the influence of Apple to get fully custom hardware.

Also, buy Linux preinstalled and fully supported by the vendor. Saves so many headaches.

It is built for and comes with Windows or no OS, so I'm dubious about it as a Linux platform. AFAICT, you have to be intentional about Linux support due to the 800 lb gorilla in the market. Like System76, the firmware is open source, s

Aye, I too wish for better suspend. I suspect system76 would also like this. Perhaps when they're big enough they can push the ODMs enough to make it happen.
