Quoting: pbWell, it's about time someone invented it...

There are alternatives already, like: https://www.uperfectmonitor.com It is just something that I am considering to buy for my galaxy tablet to use on the go as a laptop. But I never tought I can also hook up my Steam Deck when I am remote. It's a good ideea.

Initial thoughts on the HP Dev One laptop with Pop!_OS

In my opinion this is the best way for Linux to start getting noticed. No matter how good Linux is, if it does not come preinstalled on laptops/desktops, most people will not bother changing the OS.
Well... this is still targeted to developers, so still a small niche in the market, but it is a start and any laptop with Linux preinstalled is a very good thing.

I like the fact that they put in the extra time to reproduce your issue with charging and fixed it.

I do not own yet a Steam Deck but I seriously thinking of buying one. It does look very impresive to be hoenst

Linux vendor System76 releases the Pangolin, a full AMD laptop
17 March 2021 at 8:13 am UTC

Quoting: HamishI am assuming they mean RX Vega graphics.

Does System76 solder in the RAM like Lenovo does now? Because that just horrifies me.

EDIT: Nope, RAM is fully upgradeable with two DDR4 slots. Sounds great.

No, they don't. I am going for the european version of System76 and that is TuxedoComputers but I like more the carbon magnezium and more compact(but better CPU performance) TuxedoComputers Pulse 15 Gen 1 . Tomorow I will order it as a work laptop
