I'm not a fan of having my laptop maker's logo plastered on the exterior of my laptop but it is unavoidable these days. The System76 logo on this laptop is an especially egregious example of this. It alone would prevent me from considering purchasing one. I'll be looking elsewhere next year when I am due to upgrade which is unfortunate because I am a fan of Pop!_OS and would otherwise have considered System76. Edit:…

Xiaomi laptops don't have any logo on the exterior, just clear slate. Looks very slick

The apple for poor ppl ! I love my xiaomi phone and their laptop looks amazing (maybe cause they look like macs)

Its Saturday and I got some fighting words leftover from the week/s Using solved and wayland i. the same sentence is just not right ! Source: nvidia+intel laptop owner. Wayland+Nvidia: Having it work sometimes under some conditions are not the same as solved. X11 is not flawless either but i feel it works more times under more conditions. Ok rant over, sorry for sounding like a d*k :)

Nvidia is the issue. Maybe another year and they'll keep improving their driver.

True !

good to see linux being sold in laptop out of the box. this means, hopefully that bugs that the linux community was used to, because everyone knew it and didn't bother fixing are getting fixed because linus managed to break Pop os in the first command. stuff like what kde is doing with their "15-Minute Bugs" are great initiatives. this will definitely help the overall linux software become more rugged and idiot frien…

> good to see linux being sold in laptop out of the box. I remember knowing that if I got an IBM ThinkPad, it probably had good Linux driver support. I still make the assumption that Lenovo ThinkPads have better Linux driver support because hackers prefer them. But I honestly have no idea if that's true any more.

Mine needs an unofficial wifi driver or the connection will just die every 20 minutes, and the NVidia Optimus hardware is a nightmare.

I like the laptop overall but I'll never touch NVidia stuff again. Drivers are among the things I just don't want to deal with.

Non-hiDPI display in 2022 is a non-starter. There’s simply not enough pixels to display text correctly with full hd.

I assure you it's enough to display text correctly in 1080p on 15" which is not considered hidpi. You may like hidpi, and that's fine. But let's keep shifting personal standards and what's practically usable straight.

FWIW I find low DPI screens uncomfortably blurry

Lamborghini cars are faster than most jeeps. Facts, does not mean its a overall better driving experience or that jeeps 'simply' are not driveable.

I like your reasoning here but lol at your specific examples. Nobody really considers Lambos or Jeeps as being particularly drivable. Lambos try to kill you and Jeeps rattle your brain.

meh your right ! At least about about Jeeps :p

I have an old 2008 jeep rubicon. Its basically a nice red tractor with aircon and radio.

BUT I feel like OptimusPrime(Transformers) everytime i get into my jeep to go buy groceries !

That's a fair stance but also worth mentioning that System76's logo on the Lemur laptop is a sticker and very easy to remove. I removed mine the first day I used it.

Thanks, good to know. That puts it back on the potential list.

There are a bunch of sellers of laptop skins who will solve your problem for about 30 bucks. At least one (skinit) will let you give them an image to put on the back of your laptop.

I don't like skins or stickers on my laptop. Comment below says the logo is an easy to remove sticker in the System76 case so it looks like it maybe a non-issue.
