Last month, system76 announced a good news that excited the open source community, because HP is about to launch pre installed pop_ Dev one laptop for OS. Now, this model has been officially launched on HP's official website It is reported that pop_ The OS is modified by system76 based on Ubuntu Linux, and the newly launched 14 inch HP dev one model only provides one configuration. Of course, this does not prevent consumers from upgrading and replacing some components by themselves in the future.
