I don't understand the idea of branding laptops with distros, I thought the whole point of OSS is that it should not matter what OS you choose to put on your laptop.
It's a partnership for those that really want the distro branding and that want to see part of the money spent going back to fund FOSS development (as 3% of the sales goes to the GNOME Foundation). For those that don't, it's basically just a Slimbook Executive 16.
ah okay that's nice, fair enough!
Personally in that case I'd rather buy a framework, purism, system76 or similar laptop and keep donating to OSS as I already do.
makes sense, whatever works best for you, in the end it's great to have more options in the market
No?
Yet you may install other distros if you want to.
This is a laptop with no connections to microsoft or apple. Profit goes to fedora.
