You should be aware that this is classified and marketed as a microcontroller, so it’s just a bootloader to some code with no OS or a RTOS.
Something like the RPi Zero is a SBC that’s relatively close in size.
My interpretation:
It means unstable (expect the beta version to be different than the alpha version in possibly fundamental and significant ways), and possibly buggy (let them know what problems you run into). If you’re okay with that, have at it!

Pop!_OS is going to stand out with this new desktop environment. System76 is clearly giving it enough attention to make it as good or better than other Linux desktop environments.
Purism, Tuxedo and Star Labs
I think System76 has much less of a perception problem than the others. For Purism, I read much more damming critiques like waiting 3 years for your order. For the others, I nearly never read about them unless I go out of my way to find people discussing them. I would say those are much bigger problems for companies to have.
Bad joke.
The criticism is from two angles. First, Clevo is known for products that are not on the high end of the quality spectrum. They don’t try to be. Which currently is an obstacle for improving the quality of System76 laptops. System76 however has be working with suppliers to increase the quality of the products and doesn’t source everything from Clevo for their laptop lineup. Second, System76 doesn’t have the order volume of other brands allowing them to have more control over what their suppliers will supply while keeping per unit costs low enough to satisfy System76 margin expectations and keeping prices attractive enough to customers.
System76 has been making good decisions over time to address these challenges and produce better value for customers. But I don’t think it’s unfair for people to be critical of the current situation. System76 laptops aren’t cheaply priced so customers should expect System76 laptops to meet expectations in line with the prices. Not everyone will agree that System76 is or can do that with their current product offerings.
Unfortunately, the economics of laptop and desktop retail sales has subsidies from software based services built into the price expectations of customers. I like that System76 is moving against those headwinds. It means that System76 is not making decisions to try to get you to sign up for services and respects that the hardware you purchase is for your personal use and gives you autonomy to use it as you’d like without creating hurdles. But it also means their products aren’t going to be as compelling to those that are willing to deal with hurdles in exchange for lower prices.
Acer used to do exactly that until they spun that business segment off.
They’re both based on Ubuntu which is based on Debian, so under the hood, they are largely the same and will continue to be for the foreseeable future even as Pop!_OS diverges from Ubuntu more each year (in a good way).
If all goes well, we can release the alpha by the end of March
I hope it all goes well!
The NixOS relationship is pretty awesome.
I think I’ve done that when I made one of my first posts on a Lemmy instance too. I don’t know why you can’t post a link and also specify an image for the post. Lemmy needs some refinement.
I thought I was legitimately missing something that everyone else was seeing and upvoting. I guess that wasn’t the case.
Why is this pinned?
Why are people upvoting this picture? What is going on?
Why is this picture getting pinned? I’d like to see the updates, but this is just a picture. What am I missing?
I agree, but the US DoJ doesn’t.
To pretend Windows 11 might eventually require a Copilot key on keyboards is plain silly.
This seems like you’ve misinterpreted the situation. Microsoft won’t create a software dependency on a keyboard key being present (there’s already a hotkey combination that will launch Copilot in Windows 11). What is likely to happen is that Microsoft won’t give favorable terms to laptop manufacturers if they don’t agree to use an “acceptable” keyboard layouts.
What’s the current estimate for the release of COSMIC desktop environment as the default desktop environment for Pop_OS and System76 computers?
I’m expecting that everything that the statistical models reveal or make convincing results about which benefit the owners of the models will be exploited. Anything that threatens power or the model owners will be largely ignored and dismissed.
