A quick overview of a lightweight professional computer for Linux users by Matthew Broberg (Red Hat)
Why this laptop? I want to continue my road to Linux as the main operating system of my life, and I like to support my company’s participation in open source. Ports were important (USB-C is a must, USB-A is nice to have), but the decision came down to a balance of sleek design, battery life, and enough power. I found the Lemur Pro specifications did the trick.
But why System76? It’s rare to find custom-built laptop designs that run open source firmware (Coreboot) and open source embedded controller firmware. I might not be digging into that level of code often, but I appreciate knowing I can see all the software that’s running on my system from the operating system on down.
