Diluting a brand and trademark is something that can and does happen and does not imply a threat whatsoever. I clarified that multiple times. And uploading legal filings with private addresses in them and publicly…
They uploaded documents with my personal information in them when it was not even necessary to discuss the issue. They refuse to remove the documents at my request. They continue to draw attention to the post on social…
Yeah that would be fine. :)
There was never any legal threat, in fact I try to clarify that repeatedly. The user kept steering it to a poor understanding of trademark law and then publicly uploaded documents with a physical address in response.…
The user (who appears to have posted this link, btw, based on recent post history) has been disruptive in the subreddit and Slack in the past, and then literally started publicly doxxing _and_ going around to social…
Yes, still experimental. We recently merged in the ability to cross-compile Flatpak apps across x86 and ARM, so hopefully that leads to a more official status soon.
They support MBOX exports and have expressed that they will support custom domains. Between the two, it’s hardly lock-in; you can export as often as you like and keep your address.
Yes, because elementary OS is not Ubuntu. In the past, we carried newer versions of GTK or other core libraries, so pretending to be Ubuntu would actually do more harm than good. However, we have added an `--upstream`…
For what it's worth, elementary does not create Epiphany; that's the GNOME browser and is largely a GUI wrapper around WebKit, the exact same engine as in Safari. AppCenter is a way to serve the app developers who were…
For what it's worth, that was my personal response and not anything official or reviewed by System76 "the company." I try to retain a bit of autonomy while working for Sytem76. I agree that my tone may have been a…
Just curious, what laptop do you have? I'm always open to hearing constructive criticism like this, and it's something we've been more aggressively addressing with recent products. But I'd love to know which product it…
And it's been something we've been working on for more than two years. Building a US-based manufacturing plant from the ground up is a long process, but it will be worth it in the end. You can come by the factory in…
>What do you mean by "products"? Is it a particular combination of a specific barebones Clevo laptop installed with specific components (make+model) picked by System76? It's kind of a case-by-case basis. But some…
Sometimes we have to make hard decisions like that where the upstream manufacturer insists on a feature in order to get a certain class of design (because then they can resell it to Windows companies and have it be an…
Yeah, this is fair. One nit-pick is that the System76 firmware tool is not proprietary at all; the blobs themselves are (just like almost every other consumer product), but the firmware updater is all completely open…
I don't think I can share intimate details, but we are designing the products, manufacturing the chassis and some internal components, and assembling the products all in Denver, CO.
System76 UX architect here! This vastly trivializes the work System76 does for months and sometimes years leading up to a product release. We don't simply take an off-the-shelf product that already exists, throw an OS…
Hrm, that's strange and I haven't heard that being a widespread issue; thousands of customers have updated without issue. I'd open a support case so someone can get that sorted out for you.
Yes, just like every consumer computer at this point. But we're working on that. ;)
I'm literally on the factory floor right now, working with our designers and CEO on upcoming product designs. There's an area populated with a few dozen iterations of unreleased prototypes from the past couple of years,…
Never say never! We listen to feedback. :)
We're not actively hiring for anything specific, but we accept interesting applications regardless. See https://system76.com/careers
System76 employee here! We do have a number of HiDPI models. Galago Pro (https://system76.com/laptops/galago) is probably our most popular, and its resolution is 3200×1800—not technically 4K, but the right resolution…
Yep! Jeremy (jackpot51) is the lead developer. https://github.com/jackpot51
I asked David Jordan, the engineer working on the firmware updater. >Not only aren't updates initiated without permission, I wrote the code to make that literally impossible without changes to the installed python code.…
