3 years (and more since some of my friends used my link to sign up) of NordVPN for 78 dollars.

And all 3 of them are great for the Steam Deck.

I would argue that you could negotiate with muggers much easier than with mobsters.

That's not a feature. Just clarifying that.

Smart Tube in TV and Tubular on phone (plus Grayjay, but but I'm not fond of their UX).

Amen to that.

It may be far behind when compared to Android or iOS, but the GUI (Gnome at least) is very similar to Chromebooks as it is.

And this is why I didn't comment. I knew someone had already suggested the VM way. This is the best way to keep your stuff separate from work related.

I purchased it with the intent to use PopOS, and did for the first 3 months, then started distro hopping. I'm a die hard fedora fan, so I just ended up keeping Fedora (I did go back a few times to Pop).

I can't say Pop was ever an issue, it just worked, and my 10 years old daughter has it in her PC and she's very happy with it. But even on Fedora, I feel this purchase was absolutely worth it. I got it with as little ram as possible (8GB) and with the smallest NVMe drive (256GB) and then bought 64GB of RAM and two 2TB NVMe drives. It all came at around 500 dollars in savings when compared with the highest build.

You wonder why I didn't straight up got a Clevo? I'm ashamed to recognize that I never heard of it until a few months after I got my Gazelle. Then there's the fact that they are somewhat hard to get in the US.

All in all, I want to love to another manufacturer on my next purchase, only because I think there are better options than system76, but not because I think they're not good enough or anything.

I've been wanting to get my claws on one, but it's too expensive to get them to the US.

I've had a Gazelle 16 for 2 years now, and while I agree they are not the end-all for Linux laptop hardware, I'm pretty happy with it. I've distrohopped on it quite a bit since I got it, but I mostly run Fedora Gnome on it (running 39 currently), and so fat, everything just works. I'm thinking of buying from a different provider when it's time to change (maybe 2 to 4 more years). Can't speak to their support since mine has just worked since day one and I've had no need to reach out to them. PopOS is pretty good, but it is lacking when compared to Fedora. Let's see what happens when 24.04 comes out with the rust-based Cosmic DE.

Just cross-posted this to OpenSource. Thank you so Mich. This is great.
