As someone who owned 2 System76 machines, I would not say that noise ranks very high among issues they should tackle.

I find the noise to be intolerable on my Adder WS even at idle, but would agree that it's nowhere near the biggest problem. That would be software support. I have been using Linux laptops for ten years and the only one that has ever failed to reliably wake from sleep is my System76.

They're junk by every metric I know of. Expensive, too. They have nothing going for them.

I am right now using a Lenovo X1 that has that problem. Previous gen also had that problem. And the one before that. Waking up from sleep is apparently difficult.

I agree re: junk.

Their build quality feels poor. Sometimes it's hard to tell when an issue is just a vicissitude of using Linux or their fault, but I would overall not recommend.
