System76 can’t feasibly support all the linux distros and their different versions. Especially an unstable cutting edge distro like Fedora. It’s too much for such a small company.
back to a Del laptop
Does Dell still offer laptops with official Linux support?
My ask here is for System76 to use a popular and shared tool by many Linux distributions to do firmware updates (fwupd) instead of rolling their own solution only installed by default on PopOS.
I’m not sure if a Dell still offers Linux support out of the box, but you can still easily install firmware updates on multiple Linux distributions using fwupd.

Supporting existing standards sounds good but it doesn’t really seem to help improve things.
