When I bought a System76 computer around the same time-- the low end model for my wife and kids--Ubuntu crashed during setup and never recovered. Fortunately I am savvy enough to be able to do a fresh install. Fortunately, everything did work "out of the box" when I did a fresh install. But average computer user... that just doesn't work.
Unfortunately, they seem to have cut the price and removed the discrete graphics card option from the current Gazelle Professional. I guess that makes sense given the state of Linux gaming, but being able to run CUDA on a $1200 laptop was pretty awesome :(
