Let me just get this straight: System76 is one of the (very) few vendors who are completely honest about wanting to create vertical integration between hardware and software, using a Linux kernel and an Ubuntu base plus their own value-added Open Source engineering efforts?
And people in this thread are actively *bashing* them for pouring engineering resources into actually trying?!

The way I see it, if you've ever complained about the likes of ASUS et al. not supporting Linux and instead shipping their laptops with shovel/crapware on top of Windows 10, you should be over the moon at System76 trying to shift the status quo back towards a more integrated solution (which is how things were before Microsoft somehow managed to successfully market the concept of a closed source Operating System as a product on its own).
Not that I'm saying that System76 is all the way there yet, but isn't it a start at least?!
