In this blog post, I'm reviewing a NovaCustom NV41 laptop with many operating systems

Disclaimer: I'm not affiliated in any way to any of the parties involved in this review. I just enjoy reading Solène's writings in general and found myself to be especially in fond of this specific article. I share this in the hopes that others might somehow benefit from this as well!

The relevance of the review for this specific community would be that NovaCustom produces excellent laptops to be used with Linux (and other open source operating systems). Furthermore, in the review the reviewer installs a bunch of distros and tests how they work on the device.

    I can’t believe you tried

    Just in case*, I'm just the middle-man that connects this specific article by Solène to the audience on Lemmy 😅. I'm sure you're aware of this, but I just wanted to make sure.

    But yes, Solène has done an excellent work with her review! Which is precisely why I felt the need that it needed some more exposure 😜.

    It is a little sad that OpenBSD can’t optimize by P/E cores, I have been wanting to switch to OpenBSD but obviously Linux supports the most hardware, so I stay with Linux.

    Could you elaborate on your willingness to switch to OpenBSD?

    It is nice that the makers NovaCustom seem to have done a good job creating a mostly open, standards compliance x86_64 computing platform.

    Definitely! I feel as if they might be somewhat underappreciated currently, but I hope their efforts to open source will receive similar mainstream reach like what we've seem for System76 etc.
