No they don’t. Yes you do. And they definitely have to sell it if you’re going to claim some sort of conflict of interest. It’s not a selling point of their laptops, because you can remove it and install any other distro, and also (more importantly) you can use the distro on any other machine. You can buy a Framework laptop and put Pop OS on it. There’s no logical reason to dissuade people from using it.
There is no conflict of interest. Because S76 does not sell Pop OS. You can buy a Framework laptop and put Pop OS on it if you want, completely for free. It adds absolutely zero value to S76 PCs.
LOL remind me which distro Framework is developing?
You realize System76 makes laptops, right?
You realize you can run whatever distro you want on System76 laptops, right?
That’s not the point. The point OP was making is that he shat on a competitor’s product without disclosing it.
He didn’t shit on anyone’s product. System76 sells laptops, not distros. Jesus Tittyfucking Christ you guys are so irrational and deluded.
System76 makes PopOS.
Do they SELL PopOS? No? QED.
Yes. On their laptops. Also, you don’t need to sell something for it to be a product.

lmao you sound like you own LTT merch
ROFLCOPTER I do not.
System76 makes PopOS and ships it on their Linux-friendly laptops and desktops.
Framework, a company that Linus is heavily invested in, also makes Linux-friendly laptops.
I’m not saying he’s doing it intentionally, or that his criticisms are invalid, but there is a basic conflict of interest there.
