all we need is an laptop build quality like a thinkpad, but with an aluminum shiny frame like a chromebook pixel, that runs arch linux with i3, dmenu, urxvt, vim, feh, ncmpcpp, mpv, zathura, htop, dm-crypt, iptables, weechat, mutt, tmux, git, tewfont, dunst, yaourt, ffmpeg, ranger, rtorrent, and palemoon out of the box. it'll use tewifont. thoughts?

Fuck Macs. You people actually fund Apple? Wtf is wrong with you?

I don't, but do you really believe people will jump to Linux before OSX?

Mac has name recognition
Linux has a nerd reputation

>>54738751
Neat

Chromebooks, so yes.

There is a model for everyone.
Acer makes best budget to specs laptops.
Lenovo makes thinkpad build quality Chromebooks.
Google makes the MacBook look like a child's toy with the aesthetic design of the Pixel
Samsung continues to make mediocre but reliable machines.
And HP makes daily driver, quality built devices with shit specs.

>>54738977
I doubt most people even know what linux is

The hacker 4chan uses it.

>>54738364
Considering chromebook sales, yes
