I've been thinking about ordering a Linux laptop from System76.
I don't need one, but I want one.
Do any of y'all have a System76 laptop running Pop!_OS ?

If so, how do you like it?

I own and run an Oryx Pro from a couple years ago.

Good things and bad, like most things out there.

Good--Pop!_OS comes preinstalled, and it has dual graphics--Intel and NVidia (Mine is a RTX 4070). I'm running a Dell 38" monitor off the built-in DisplayPort in addition to the 17" laptop screen. Storage is 100% SSD, and it's faster than anything I've had previously. Power-off to working is less than 18 secs. Quiet as a mouse, too. Has bluetooth, multiple USB ports, backlit keyboard. Lots of fun stuff.

However, since I had been running Fedora for a couple decades, I thought I'd just install Fedora on it.

Wrong.

Hardware drivers are specialized enough that other distros may or may not work. I'd stick with Pop!_OS as it comes pre-installed, and has all the required drivers set up properly.

Good news--you CAN install another DE. I'm running KDE rather than the default Gnome/COSMIC. Other than package management, I've got it set up like my old Fedora installs, so I'm happy.
