I guess you don't have to use it or trust me :) My comments are just my opinion and are based on my personal observation.

It contradicts my decades-long experience and I would have loved to know whether I have just been lucky. Is there a bug report somewhere? Or just some blog about some more data?

They are not even close to MB quality and they are not worth it. They are also making questionable decisions regarding supported OS. Apparently they are going away from Ubuntu and wants to fork Ubuntu with Unity 7.

AFAIK, they intend to continue to offer Ubuntu as a choice. Their hardware is vastly superior to the garbage that is MB.

No, they are buildin Pop! OS https://system76.com/pop

About the quality. If you don't believe me about S76 quality please read this https://www.reddit.com/r/linux/comments/48y2db/system76_lapt... maybe that will change your mind. MBs are not perfect (non laptops are) bud they are so damn close (depends on what you need). If you want solid laptop you should really look mostly in to MB, Thinkpad series and XPS series, depends on your requirements (wants look and HD speeds? take MB, wants upgrade your laptop in the future? take Thinkpad or XPS)
