Just saw an ad for these, and it sparked my interest. Might pick one up for school purposes. What do you guys thing? These laptops look good? https://system76.com/laptops/

Why would you purchase a custom Ubuntu laptop when any modern laptop that has an x86 processor can run Ubuntu?

Basically Linux's operating system. They have two different OS's actually, Ubuntu and Mint

It's a Linux distribution to be more accurate. There are hundreds if not thousands of Linux distributions that exist.

These are silly. I just use virtual machines running kali if I need Linux.

Windows or GTFO

Linux is for programmers
Mac OS is for Art/Design
Chrome OS is just stupid

It's got potential.

To do what? It's a downgrade from Windows and no better than W8 (X1) or PS OS

Well take me. I use my laptop for everything but gaming. My laptop is basically my workhorse and I use my desktop specifically for gaming. So in that scenario Windows on my laptop and SteamOS on my desktop works well for me. I wouldn't use the current build of SteamOS on my computer but later in development I would highly consider it.

What about non-steam games? With Windows you get games from Steam and all the Windows/Non-Windows-Steam games

I don't play non-steam games besides the Marathons.

See, you'd miss out.

On another note, we should try to organise a flood Marathon marathon... As I have it on Windows, and Durundal on 360
