I have to protest; I have bought two of these and they have been lackluster. They feel very cheaply made.

I am also having issues with my current System76 suddenly deciding not to detect my second monitor. Just a bad experience overall, though on this particular point, the flaw is easily Ubuntu's and not System76's.

I have a 15 year old Acer laptop that came with Windows 7 Home and runs Ubuntu just fine. I upgraded it to 8g RAM and 2T SSD hard drive.

Recent ~forced Ubuntu LTS upgrade to 22.04 broke lots of things. They really need to improve their testing processes.
