I've been buying System76 for many years now and I've always been happy with what I've gotten.
I recently food-chained my old System76 laptop (10 years old) that I upgraded to use an SSD. It's still going strong.
My System76 desktop is at least 6 years old now.
And just last year, I purchased a System76 DarterPro to replace my old laptop. No problems there either.
All I do for maintenance is keep up with my Ubuntu updates and upgrade to the new releases as they come out (usually I wait about a month, though).
... Anyone who remembers the 60's...wasn't there.
No, but I do have a Zareason laptop that has been reliable for 6 years now (knock on wood). When I was shopping, System76 seemed to be a little
higher priced than Zareason's similar offerings. If I ever found myself in need of a new machine, I would check System76 out again.
Their laptops were rock-solid, great driver support for Linux and Windows. I considered using their laptops and Dell XPS 13/15s for a desktop linux initiative at my company a few years back.
Don't know about their desktops, but their reputation precedes them.

Not a big fan of their current desktops, the cooling is not the

I've never heard of Zareason, but I'm actually looking to upgrade a desktop and
am a fan of Mini PCs. I currently have a very old Gigabyte Brix that has been s
per-reliable and is still kicking with an SSD and Linux, but I'd like to get so
ething a little more powerful. I know that I could probably source an Intel NUC
(which I think the Meerkat 5 is, but rebadged) cheaper, but I liked the idea of
helping out a small business that contributes back to the open source community
I'll have to check out Zareason though!
I think you'd have to, or at least look elsewhere, as Zareason has recently wen
out of business. :(

Rats! I really like my laptop. Another good thing about them was that you could choose from a few different *nix distros instead of just
being stuck with only one or two that were offered. It was not an infinite list, but it had several choices when I ordered.
I didn't know such a thing exists. Great to see this is not only a product but also an open-source spec how to build your own. DYI culture forever! Thanks!
