Every time I review any #Linux hardware on the channel, I always get asked « where the affordable options are », so here are 2 #laptops from @slimbook, the « Elemental » line.
They start under 550€, or under 500€ if you don’t have to pay VAT, and they actually give you a really solid device for the cost:
Is it worth mentioning, in this context, Minifree as a supplier of linux laptops? They also sell *BSD laptops too. That's not even their USP, which is that they use (and indeed develop) libreboot - a FOSS BIOS for improved security.
alright cool gonna move on from #qubes because it doesn't support the networking card on this laptop i guess? i see no way to set up wifi and i think the "post install configuration scripts" errored out when i was setting that up so that's awesome
My main #Qubes hardware had problems (a #NUC with a fan malfunction) and I had to replace it. And because of the announcement of "4.2 rc" I was brave and installed that one....
Version 4.2.0-rc1
