We will be moving Virgo laptop PCB design to this public, GPLv3 licensed project: https://github.com/system76/virgo/. This will be the most open, modern x86 motherboard design I know of.

    EDIT: I’m like 90% sure I’m remembering Purism here, not System 76.

    I want them to succeed (and open source hardware in general), but I got burnt by one of their early ones. A complete lemon of a laptop. I’ve had better build quality out of Acer.

    I was pleasantly surprised by my OG Framework DIY laptop though. They’re doing great work.

        I mean home manufacturing is cool and all, but in the short term open source hardware has the potential to create a lot more competition in traditional manufacturing. Most big tech rely on IP nowadays, without it there would be more competitors to drive prices down and increase supply. Home manufacturing is more in the far future IMO
