Sustainable Tech
Sabaidee, Welcome!
This is a community for promoting sustainability in tech and computing. This includes: understanding the impact that our tech/computing choices have on the environment; purchasing or re-using devices that are sustainable and repairable; how to properly recycle or dispose of old devices when it is beyond use; and promoting software and services that allow us to reduce our environmental impact in the long term, both at work and in our personal lives.
This isn't a competition, it's a reminder to stay grounded when making your decisions. Remember: The most sustainable device is the one that you are already using.
Rules:
- Stay on-topic. Everything from sustainable smartphones to data centers and the green energy that powers them is fair game.
- Be excellent to each other.

Hopefully other vendors use the same format and it becomes a standard.
System76 is going to start manufacturing their own laptops soon .... ball is in their court for compatibility?
System76 hasn't been manufacturing the laptops that it currently sells?
No, they are rebranded Clevo. Only the desktops are an in-house design.
There is an agreement, that system76 gets access to whatever they need to write their own Coreboot firmware that other Clevo rebrands do not have.
Moving towards their own in-house design and assembly in the US has been a goal for system76 for a long time and there should be an announcement later this year about the first such laptop.
Oh, interesting, I actually had a stellar experience with their desktop but an absolutely terrible subsequent experience with their laptop (which at least I was able to return with no problem) and I was wondering why there was such a disparity, and this may explain it.
