System76 left a really bad taste in my mouth.
I can’t speak to Cosmic, but their existing system updater tool/app store was a crash prone pile of garbage that never got fixed for years. That’s right, the tool they shipped with was known broken open issue on github for YEARS. I know they were working on a replacement at a glacial pace that’s probably out by now, but I gave up waiting.
Then one day I updated and the latest linux kernel just didn’t work on my S76 branded laptop. Didn’t for MONTHS.
Maybe they’ve improved since, but I’m never giving them money again or using their software.
I view them as incompetent.
I’m pretty sure there’s a scene of the utility company working on the junction box.
