Re: Buying from System76 or Slimbook?

Hi,

I am currently running a dual boot setup with Ubuntu and Windows 11 both booting fine from secure boot.

I was thinking about replacing Ubuntu with Fedora, but if it ain't broke, don't fix it.

Warm regards,

apologies if this isnt relevant, but similar idea though different supplier.
got a ryzen 3400g based desktop from ccl over here in the uk.
installed archlinux on it.
as long as its not secure boot, linux distros will nowadays instal on most x86-64 based systems.
only glitch i had was soundcard was card1 since hdmi was card0, was a bit ugg.
had to ssh in and sort it.

get cheap hdmi monitor and then u can ocr it if it hangs and thers no sign of life.
same as  u can ocr a screen capture on a vm.

anybody who sells pc without os should be ok, just if its secure boot it can be difficult/impossible.

I purchased a computer from System76 and then installed Slint on my own. They were very fast and kept me updated every step of the process.

Hi all,

For future considderation, which is the better buying experience, System76.com, Slimbook.es, puri.sm, or any other specialist Linux computer building company?

I have never actually purchased a Linux first device, it's always something running Winbloat, unfortunately needed for making my living, but that's what VM's is for.

If anyone has bought a machine from any of the Linux specialist companies, please let us know about your buying experience. I, for one am curious.
