| bkerensa | wish valorie would join us too | 20:21 |
| bkerensa | :D | 20:21 |
| shannonlucas | valorie: bkerensa is trying to get the Oregon channel population to beat the California channel's :p | 20:22 |
| shannonlucas | Anyone have any experience with the System76 laptops? | 22:48 |
| ievans3024 | i got free stickers from them once | 23:34 |
| ievans3024 | i also applied to a customer support position for them, but never got a response back | 23:35 |
| ievans3024 | but i assume you've got a question about the hardware | 23:35 |
| shannonlucas | :-p | 23:35 |
| shannonlucas | It's getting time to replace my old laptop, and I was considering them as an option | 23:35 |
| ievans3024 | and a good one, at that | 23:36 |
| shannonlucas | Biggest complaint I saw with the Serval was battery life being really short | 23:36 |
| ievans3024 | yeah, a lot of power/battery technologies are developed by the manufacturers and (from what i understand) rarely shared between computer manufacturers | 23:37 |
| shannonlucas | Found a rant by someone about how they don't provide their drivers for other distros. | 23:37 |
| ievans3024 | if you only intend on using ubuntu and you aren't concerned with software freedom, then i guess that wouldn't be such a big deal | 23:38 |
| ievans3024 | funny to me though that they would be using hardware that doesn't work on the drivers provided in ubuntu | 23:38 |
| shannonlucas | My bigger concern is more along the lines of how long they would continue to maintain their drivers (which are open source) | 23:39 |
| shannonlucas | My old ThinkPad still has great driver support, but it uses baseline Intel parts for everything. | 23:39 |
| ievans3024 | same as my sony | 23:40 |
| ievans3024 | good luck with your computer purchase, whatever it turns out to be | 23:42 |
| shannonlucas | Thanks. I'll probably just agonize over it a few weeks and then just stick with what I have for a while longer. :p | 23:44 |
