@loke@functional.cafe I had a similar dilemma last year when I was in the market for a new laptop, and many of the 'cool companies' were fairly obviously 'drinking the tech-bro cool-aid'. Finally went with Tuxedo, who I believe are in Germany. Lovely machine, and fast af by my standards (I'm not a gamer!). It came with their own Linux distro out-of-box, which is fine, which I then replaced with my beloved Garuda. @tommi@pan.rent @fraxinas@chaos.social (Edited to correct that they are in Germany, not Austria)
