    Progress looks nice! Not a big fan of how the osd and tabs look, but everything else is quite nice

      They build a desktop toolkit which can be used for many others, with way different styles. Budgie thought about that but abandoned the idea afaik.

    Does System76 have right now, or upcoming, any laptops that can match Apple’s hardware quality? They seem like Clevo rebrands.

      They plan on starting to make their own laptops but there aren’t many details available. https://www.tomshardware.com/news/system76-shows-off-first-images-of-its-virgo-linux-laptop-design

      As far as I know, all the so called Linux laptops are rebranded white label products from China

      apple’s hardware quality

      I laughed. Cheaply made Chinese builds sold at a huge markup to make it look good to rich idiots doesn’t mean quality.

        I’m sorry, but I absolutely cannot understand this. Have you held a modern macbook, like a macbook m2 air, in your hands?

        I don’t like their software a lot, but the hardware is top of the industry in almost every way after they released their own CPUs. For what you get, they are cheap.

        Before Apple Silicon they were more meh, though.

    i tried recently compiling the epoch build on machine, but it didn’t start. maybe because of my nvidia card. nevertheless i’ll be installing this as soon as it hits the arch repos!

    I haven’t been excited about something with respect to Linux, distros, DEs, etc, in quite some time (last excitement for me was Valve and Proton).

    I know it will be a long road to get it in a state that could make it a daily driver, but it’s looking great and the path they’re on looks strong.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
