You stop shilling for System76, no matter how good their QA is, the actual product is trash. Their screens and casing are on the level of bargain store acer machines, not premium quality laptops. I want my Linux hardware to be on the level of Macs, "privacy" and "coreboot" are no excuse for lack of product vision and poor mechanical engineering.
If I'm buying a new laptop today, its gonna be a Framework.
If I need to recommend something more inexpensive and casual, System76 exists, but I'd only recommend that to people have yet to fix their flawed thinking and think they don't want a Framework.
