Look, we know System76 laptops are based as fuck. I mean, Coreboot, Open source firmware, PopOS, and a fucking open source mobo in the works, just so fucking based.

But man, these framework laptops look cool too. Completely modular and easy to work on. Looks like the company has proved it isn’t going to go under anytime soon.

I’m debating what to get once I feel like upgrading from the trusty ol ThinkPad. What would you buy?

    Gonna be honest: as an american, with the political situation around here right now, it does make me feel less comfortable with them as a company knowing that

    Although I preordered the framework 16", so I’m not exactly in the market for a new Laptop rn anyway

      They registered the domain in 2003 and started selling in 2005. I don’t think it is fair to apply current right wing rhetoric to a name selected 20 years ago when it was more neutral (as were flags).

      If they start marketing Proud Boy Linux I might reconsider that stance.

      I won’t buy from them because their main software guy said some stupid stuff a while ago when he was mad at gnome and it came across as both inaccurate and needlessly antagonistic.
