Comment on Asus Co-CEO: MacBook Neo Is a 'Shock' to the PC Industry

  Well, technically, System76 and a few other white box laptop makers did. But they don’t actually make laptops.

  And to be fair to big OEMs, “it uses Linux!” was a much harder thing to market before. I can see (outside of the Framework, which caters to enthusiasts) they only dabbled with it but didn’t invest.

    yea, it would certainly have been a long-term investment.

    Also, an HP or Dell Linux distro would be an unholy abomination. I can only imagine what they’d ship.

    I figured they would just rebrand some big stable distro
