What attracted me was a warantee that wasn't broken by opening the case or installing your own components. Also when I asked pre-sales support they where very open about the fact it was a rebadged Clevo N130BU, gave me the URL for the service manual and confirmed stock Ubuntu should run out the box. Linux Mint did when I tried it, not had an issue with it since. Now none of this is of much interest to the original poster who I think had a .de address apart for the idea of looking for a local supplier of rebadged Clevo devices. Lots of people do, I think at least some of Juno's stock is Clevo and know System76 used to albeit with modified firmware. #1 https://www.pcspecialist.co.uk/ -- Bob Dunlop

Has anyone had bad experiences porting /gentoo/ to either? I bought a Lenovo P70 laptop back in 2018? and all hardware was supported by the kernel. This wasn't a cheap laptop though, it set me back about $2400. Dan

Has anyone had bad experiences porting /gentoo/ to either? If you're prepared to pay decent money (there's no such thing as a "bottom of the line" here), try these people https://junocomputers.com/product-category/laptops/ (I get the impression they're Italian with a UK base, certainly they've got a UK address, don't really know.) I bought the 14" for my wife (weight here was THE massive criterion). I've now bought the 15" for me although I've not set it up yet. All the computers come with Ubuntu. I blew it away, and installed SUSE as the host for installing gentoo (though I had problems with systemd networking so that got aborted) and Windows which is what my wife uses. Having got this system working with gentoo/systemd, I should have more success setting up my laptop. Cheers, Wol

I bought a bottom of the line HP laptop and had only problems with unsupported chips. I'd like to buy a lenovo or huawei now. Has anyone had bad experiences porting /gentoo/ to either?
