Buying from System76 or Slimbook?

Wed Jun 8 23:23:45 UTC 2022

apologies if this isnt relevant, but similar idea though different supplier.
got a ryzen 3400g based desktop from ccl over here in the uk.
installed archlinux on it.
as long as its not secure boot, linux distros will nowadays instal on most x86-64 based systems.
only glitch i had was soundcard was card1 since hdmi was card0, was a bit ugg.
had to ssh in and sort it.

get cheap hdmi monitor and then u can ocr it if it hangs and thers no sign of life.
same as  u can ocr a screen capture on a vm.

anybody who sells pc without os should be ok, just if its secure boot it can be difficult/impossible.
