@alisynthesis I’ll be getting a #System76 machine myself soon, but I haven’t run Linux on any bare metal setup since the days of Ubuntu 08.04.

Were you able to have a choice in disk encryption when initially booting your machine? I’ve only seen glimpses of how things might work on YouTube but it was for a laptop.

Now that I'm all in on #Linux, it's time to replace my Lenovo gaming laptop with hardware that has proper support. So... #System76 here I come!

Pretty excited to get this new machine and set it up...whee! No more crazy Nvidia driver bullshit, no more laptop fans whirring!

Not sure if I'll stick with the pre-installed PopOS or head over to #Debian or another distro, but it's so great to know that the hardware was put together with Linux in mind, and I didn't have to do it! :D

Just donated to @system76 Pop!_OS after experiencing frustration with stock desktop Debian. It really highlighted how streamlined and slick the Pop!_OS install and out of box experience is.
I hope it remains that way in their future releases too.

Less friction, MUCH quicker to install and (imo) easier to use that Windows these days too.

Mending Wall v0.3.2 is now out with support for #COSMIC from #System76!

I've been wanting to try out the COSMIC alpha, so added support to Mending Wall to make it possible without risking my GNOME and KDE installs (desktop environments often interfere with each other). It woks!

Whoa! I just found out #System76 Launch
#keyboards have programmable layers! I never knew that! Why doesn't anybody talk about that?

It's basically the same size and key count as the #Logitech MX Keys for Mac that I have.

I also have a Moonlander from ZSA. On which, I made a Tmux layer where I've simplified most tmux commands from 3 keypresses down to one. e.g. Ctrl+Space Down is mapped to J. It's a macro where I've “hard coded” the tmux prefix into the macro. Is this possible on the Launch
