System76 Superfan 2: "Legend of the Lake"

  • 631 views. Added .

System76, a Linux-focused computer retailer, graciously invited me to visit their company headquarters in Denver, CO last month. As part of the Superfan 2: Legend of the Lake event, I got to see the office, speak with the employees, and meet other Linux users who buy from System76. In this video, I'll talk about the experience, show hands-on footage for each of System76's products, and discuss the new projects that System76 is working on behind the scenes.

I want to give a HUGE thank you to System76 for inviting me out to this event! I had a great time, I learned a lot about the company, and I'm definitely planning to buy from System76 again in the future. Go to https://system76.com/ to learn more about System76.

Also, a special thank-you to Sam for helping me record a large portion of this video! You can find Sam's channel here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC3d1sQq6JmCXNWCrYs38srw

Be sure to also take a look at Jay's channel! He has an excellent tour of the office and interviews with System76 staff members in his video here: https://youtu.be/80zhEF1zrw8

You can find all of the Superfans and their creations on the System76 blog here: http://blog.system76.com/post/156375222453/winners-of-second-superfan-contest

Thanks, very helpful.  Any reason you selected the Serval over the Oryk Pro?

Absolutely, the Serval has an actual desktop processor, while the Oryx has the much slower laptop processor (you can tell it's a mobile processor because it has an HQ at the end of the model number.) That was the primary deciding factor for me. Another difference is that the Serval supports up to the GTX 1080, while the Oryx is only being sold with graphics up to the 1070 right now.
