Today I saw someone once again trash System76 for rebranding Clevo machines and writing that off as some kind of deceptive business model. Ultimately, they’re not “just rebranded Clevo…”, but even if they were, the ignorant douchebag posting this misguided rant fails to acknowledge that EVERY SINGLE LAPTOP OEM does the same. Yes, HP, Dell, Lenovo - fucking all of them!
Yeah, I know Purism gets trashed for reasons they are actually accountable for. And good point about lack of business being a major worry, but in your search did you happen to see anyone trashing these other companies with “It’s just a rebranded [whatever]”?
