Having done the "buy a Windows laptop and load linux on it" thing for many years and many generations, I think I'm done. I have now had a Dell preloaded with Ubuntu and a System76 and I don't think I'll ever go back. The Dell has special drivers tho for backlight and other things, so loading a different distro is a little more work than a System76 is.

Does System76 work on upstreaming these special drivers, or are you just stuck with whatever they slap on the disk if you want all hardware to work?

Yes, they do specifically work on upstreaming the drivers into the Linux kernel.
I found this post from System76 to be really interesting: https://www.reddit.com/r/linux/comments/5umefi/system76_refr...
