Last time I tried a System 76 laptop it was great when I was plugged in at my desk doing dev work. Better than a Macbook Pro.
But when I had to unplug it in the office to go to a meeting it was just terrible... support for plugging/unplugging external monitors/docks was atrocious, I had wifi issues, and doing something like a Zoom meeting (Webex at the time) would reduce it's battery life to 1 hour or less. Stuff just got messed up using it as a laptop that was getting used at the desk and then not at the desk.
That was quite some time ago, I hope the software has gotten better. I stopped using it cause I was messing with linux too much instead of doing my work. That was depressing, cause it was kind of the same story as every time I've tried to use linux on the desktop back to the 90s.
