So far, I'm enjoying the computer I purchased, and my overall experience with System76 was seamless and quick. I like what they stand for and what they are doing. That said, while I appreciate Pop!_OS, I still lean toward Zorin OS for its overall feel and usability. However, I’m happy to keep Pop!_OS installed—it works well for most of my needs and I like the Spotlight type feature--that's the main reason I'm keeping it on. The main downside is the Pop!_Shop, which feels slow and glitchy at first, though it does seem to stabilize after repeated use. It’s a minor but noticeable quirk. For everything except audio recording, this setup excels. I’m thrilled to have moved away from the Apple and Microsoft ecosystems, but it's unfortunate I can't record. While the system can run audio software just fine, the fan kicks in frequently, making it impractical for recording. Given the price point, it’s a bit of a missed opportunity, but since I didn’t buy it specifically for that purpose, it’s not a dealbreaker. And, mixing works perfectly well.

I always get the best service from the System76 team. The laptops they build have their dedication and loyalty built with them. I have been a System76 customer for 4 years now and own 4 of their systems. I also have no problem recommending them and supporting them.

The last desktop computer I purchased was a System 76 Wild Dog Pro from 2017 and from the onset I was extremely disappointed with the horrific noise the fans put out when I was doing nothing on it. So I had my concerns about buying the Thelio. But I was quite pleased to discover that my new Thelio made no noticeable noise in its quiescent state. After putting up with the horrible noise from the previous System 76 desktop for all these years it is a pure joy to be able to work in my office in something approaching silence. I am a computational physicist so at some point I'm going to test out the GPU and the computational abilities of the Thelio but by far the most important thing about any computer for me is the noise it puts out and so far I am quite happy with the Thelio.

System 76's selection of hardware is 'right-on' and exceeds expectations. Kudos for that! Everything works as expected. Since I am a long-time Linux user (This is my 5th Sys76 purchase) I was not aghast at no documentation or links to more info. (No quick start-up sheet.) I found what I needed to know from on-line, hardware component spec-info. I didn't care for POP-OS but pleased when I installed my fav OS that no additional drivers were necessary. I recommend System 76 to all... they make great stuff!

Powerful and compact Linux computer for very fair price. I was disappointed by lack of updated neovim in pop-os and by the fact that the HD had "microsoft basic data" partition. The reply by system76 is not accurate. the 2 first partitions (UEFI and recovery) are vfat, not ext4.

I live about 35 miles from the Denver facility which is often refereed to as 'The Factory'. The UPS hub in Commerce City is about 7.5 miles from 'The Factory'. I receive UPS packages from all over the country and when it arrives in Commerce City I receive the package the next day. Ergo, I opted for the least expensive shipping method. Imagine my surprise when I found that the package had shipped and would take about a week to get to me from 'The Factory' in California. Over night service was only an additional $70 or so. An extra 1%. Negligible on a $3800 order. Perhaps at checkout you might want to mention where the product actually SHIPS from. Just a thought.

so I bought this Lemur pro with extra ram. About 18 months after purchase, it was running slowly. Turns out the second ram was not recognized. Cost $800 and 3 weeks.

Quick, efficient, got what I needed. Always a fan of System76!
