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.

the foss people are probably the people who migrated to the fedi first
Progress looks nice! Not a big fan of how the osd and tabs look, but everything else is quite nice
I think the osd looks good but yeah the tabs are kinda ugly tbh
To be fair I've never seen window tabs on a twm that look good
But the Pop Shell ones aren't any better
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
Starlabs is not AFAIK, same with PINE
Starlabs laptops are great. I can't wait to see a review of thestarfighters laptop!
I hear the battery life is poor but not sure.
I get ~8 hours on my starbook MkVI, with Bluetooth disabled.
What's wrong with clevo rebrands?
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'm very excited for COSMIC!
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.
