From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

We heard your feedback during the launch of the Fedora Slimbook 16 and, along with the folks from Slimbook, bring you the new Fedora Slimbook 14, a smaller, lighter, cheaper with even better battery life, version of the Fedora Slimbook, powered by an Intel CPU and GPU (unfortunetely no AMD version soon).

Yay! No Nvidia this time.

Can't find any information about the price or how to actually buy it though.

[–] joojmachine@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah, they could do a better job by having a big button directing people to buy it at the website, but if you go to the "Buy" option in the top bar you'll find it among all of their other offerings.

€1100 with the current F39 release discount and €1000 with the extra €100 discount for Fedora contributors

That's incredibly overpriced for the spec and what you're getting. Ouch. Why can't somebody make a decent laptop that's actually remotely cost competitive with a bog standard Windows laptop that I can just randomly buy at my local store?

Umm, check Lenovo, they are our partners at Fedora as well and have decently priced Fedora-preinstalled hardware as well. The thing with smaller companies is that they have smaller reserves and less stock than the tech giants like DELL or Lenovo.

This is a laptop with a 2 generation old processor and no real GPU being sold for about the same price as a Lenovo laptop with a Ryzen 7 + 4060 GPU in it. I think Lenovo scammed you.

Yes, finally something better than 1080p!

Very interested in this, my refurb Dell laptop with Pop has been perfect but I'd love to support Linux first hardware

For some reason I see a dismantled burger on a fedora post, what's going on? I'm using eternity app.

You're experiencing a mirage. Go eat something and come back.

Eternity sometimes replaces a post's thumbnail with that of a post further down the list.

Clicked out of interest, then remembered that I want nothing to do with the Red Hat trains.
