Don’t eliminate a company based on an n=1 comment on HackNews, Reddit, etc.

I’ll make it n=2. I was pretty disappointed by the build quality of my System 76 Galago. And it wasn’t very repair friendly either because parts are very difficult to get.

Make it three. I'm on the third battery for my darter pro: twice so far, the battery has swelled up and made the keyboard buckle. System76 support consists in selling me replacement batteries at a serious markup.

I've decided not to install the third battery, so I have more of a desktop now.

FWIW, the Ars reviewer installed COSMIC on a Framework and seemed to really enjoy it. They even sell a mini case that transforms their laptop into a desktop.
