I wonder if arm Linux laptops will become more of a thing.
I know Apple silicon has a lot more going on then just arm, but a Linux based device with that kind of efficiency to power ratio would be cool.
Eh. ARM is old news. I’d really would’ve liked to see them push RISC-V
System76, the leading US-based manufacturer of Linux computers, […]
Bold statement.
Name a bigger one.
Dell.
Only one I can think of is tuxedo computers or tux computers, whatever their called. To be honest I always thought they were bigger
Dell?
Almost everyone else.
Dell, HP, Lenovo, Asus and Acer

They don’t even sell computers from what I can see.
Cool dev box
I can’t think of a us case honestly. The ARM architecture isn’t well supported and the System76 Tax will make it pricey.
arm64 is very well supported by the Linux kernel. What makes you say it’s not?
There is more than just the kernel. Sure there is software that works on arm but I don’t see the competitive advantage even if the workload fully supports it.
“System76 tax”?
Markup for system76 hardware. It isn’t terrible but you are paying for System76 and usually its cheaper to go elsewhere if you are looking at purely cost.
