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.

Steam+Proton is pretty impressive. I can play Baldur's Gate 3 on my Thelio. Does get a little toasty, though ....
I’m so happy something like this exists. I hate RGB and love wood on my electronics. Think I’m gonna pick one of these up.
I didn't buy it for a gaming machine. I was pleasantly surprised that a fancy new Windows game ran on it at all!
I thought you were just being a dick but then I checked out the North from Fractal Design and wow it’s beautiful!
Yeah I mean you’re probably right. I think people just downvoted to hell because of how you phrased it.

I'm open-source, check me out at GitHub.
Cool, thanks
Yeah I just meant for 200mm front fan airflow, plus all the fan options on top, sides back. But for wood I would grab a System76 Thelio.
Designed, built and materials sourced in the USA, and high attential to details. Their own back plane for SATA connections and custom board for controlling thermals. All open sources designs. https://imgur.com/gallery/UfVBDWI
I'm not American, but system76 is an opensource company and actually builds a very good products and their own OS. I would choose USA built also because I'm Canadian and reduces chinese components and possible slave labour. Not sure why you care so much about my choice. lol
They don't have to have a reputation, some people just want to support more locally made or sourced products than relying on China as the worlds factory for too many reasons to list. System76 has been building PoP!OS with good gaming and hardware support, they have also spent a lot of time doing proper airflow analysis, to maximize airflow without over revving the fans, and as somebody who values opensource as well as they have been opensourcing all their hardware designs so if you wanted to take their CAD files you could build your own case , keyboard, etc you could
We don'thave a Canadian equivalent yet.
Because it's open source i.e. fully upgradable and repairable, and the mission behind the company is something I would want to support.
It's a prebuilt company that doesn't use proprietary garbage to force each and every customer to buy an entire new system when their original purchase starts to become obsolete.
I don't own anything from system76, I've built my own my whole life, but I still believe prebuilts should be for people who can't build their own, not a timeless and somehow socially acceptable way to scam your customer and still have them come back for more
Are there prebuilt desktop PCs that aren’t? I have personally yet to see one, even though I build my own. Maybe some small form-factor office rigs would be a hassle, but those are not really marketed to usecases where upgrading makes much sense anyway,
