        You realize you can run whatever distro you want on System76 laptops, right?

          That’s not the point. The point OP was making is that he shat on a competitor’s product without disclosing it.

            He didn’t shit on anyone’s product. System76 sells laptops, not distros. Jesus Tittyfucking Christ you guys are so irrational and deluded.

                Ignore that user. They are most likely a troll, probably my most down voted user in all of Lemmy. I once thought of blocking them, but then realized it is kind of like having a pet. They are too small and stupid to hurt anyone, but it is funny to watch them try. Ocassionally they drop some gems that are truly hilariously bad. Not KenM bad, but close tho.

                  Yes. On their laptops. Also, you don’t need to sell something for it to be a product.

                    No they don’t. Yes you do. And they definitely have to sell it if you’re going to claim some sort of conflict of interest. It’s not a selling point of their laptops, because you can remove it and install any other distro, and also (more importantly) you can use the distro on any other machine. You can buy a Framework laptop and put Pop OS on it. There’s no logical reason to dissuade people from using it.

      System76 makes PopOS and ships it on their Linux-friendly laptops and desktops.

      Framework, a company that Linus is heavily invested in, also makes Linux-friendly laptops.

      I’m not saying he’s doing it intentionally, or that his criticisms are invalid, but there is a basic conflict of interest there.
