System76 Moves Ahead With Preparing To Manufacture Their Own Desktop Linux PCs

Do they have plan to sell risc v or arm products ?

No and they likely never will. The cost of doing ARM in a way to make it something more than a throw-away device is way too high, which is why nobody really does usable ARM devices well, outside of high-end dev boards.

Apple already does that, and it seems to work pretty well...

Heh, I'd be a great entrepreneur too if I got just a little 1M dollar loan at flat rate from my parents...

I really hope so. I've been waiting for a decently-designed AMD laptop from ages.

Look at Asus GL702ZC, it has a desktop CPU (Ryzen 1700) and GPU (RX580) inside a laptop chassis, max 32GB RAM.

And it's said that first million is the hardest. Are your parents interested in divesting and loaning me $1 mill for a non-tech related idea I am kicking around?

Who gives a fuck if it's in the US or in Antartica if the product is fucking good.

Linux has too much competition to afford being hindered by such trivial petty bullshit.

A friend of Linux is a friend of mine.

Everyone should support fair labor wages, decent environmental regulations, etc. So, yes, it matters a lot where something is produced. It doesn't have to be the US, but the US is far better than China or India.

System76 sells GNU/Linux systems. Linux is just a kernel.

those systems don't have firefox or firefox is gnu? what about x11? libreoffice?

I would'n say, the original price is doubling imported in EU, but.
++ Usualy No Warrany, warranty available in US is practically useless. Better a Dell or HP.
