The firmware is also going to be very different, since Clevo is targeting Windows users. And obviously you can't get System76 support for Clevo boxes.
System76 was working on an in-house laptop design, but afaict it has stalled out.

I would appreciate if you could elaborate on this. I am not a fan of snap myself but by saying it is anti-consumer do you mean they do not support it? Why would it be anti-consumer if you can just install snapd?

in reply to bytebro • • •@bytebro @devT Sure. Other people can do that if they want.
I don't have a problem with companies bundling whatever packages they want on their distro.
The difference comes when they actively *block* installation (just like Mint does). That is what is anti-consumer. It adds confusion to users as they have to go and find out what random file in /etc/ needs to be edited or removed, just to install some software. It's stupid.
You may disagree, that's fine. It's okay to not like things.
