 Dell has Ubuntu laptops that don't come with the System 76 price tag and weird custom OS.

 I tried getting a Dell Linux and it gave an immediate blue screen out of the box. Went with System76 and had zero issues. Pop OS also feels better than stock Ubuntu.

 I had a lot of problems when I tried to run Ubuntu on a Dell xps years ago.

 Pop OS personal laptop review:

1) lightweight and fast
2) shit power adapter
3) thermal management system of a heaving siberian husky in the sahara
4) the OS just works
5) build feels plasticy and cheap at times

 Poor design, execution. The final 10% difference with the product created by apple makes a huge difference.

I dont hold it against @System76 :popos: :ubuntu: - I think they are doing a great job with extremely limited resources. Would love to see them succeed.

 Ah sorry I should've warned you but you're on Dell's special "screw this customer" list. Their stuff is for other people, not you.
