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

      They have been working on a fully in-house open source laptop for some time but I don’t know the ETA on it.

      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!

      Yeah I had trouble building it on Arch. Something went wrong with a particular dependency, but I forget which. I’ll give it another try soon, since I’m incredibly eager to experience the newer changes.
