@thelinuxEXP @slimbook There is no official laptop. Whenever any company (before Slimbook there was Lenovo) offers preinstalled Fedora as an option - the project celebrates that. It hopefully helps the company be rewarded for developing the option (which is not trivial), and the Fedora project gains visibility.
@customdesigned @thelinuxEXP @slimbook also because it would be… peculiar to see the official laptop for a Linux distro one that has hardware with poor Linux support inside; and hardware that doesn't have great support on Fedora in particular (kernel gets updated irregardless of NVidia driver support, and NVidia users need to wait until the akmods compile in the background before shutting down their laptop - or no video! - which breaks offline upgrades). Can't be their official laptop surely.
@chic_luke @thelinuxEXP @slimbook Only by actually shipping a preinstalled linux distro does a manufacturer discover what hardware is problematic (proprietary interfaces).
@customdesigned @thelinuxEXP @slimbook the closest thing to this in the Fedora world would be uBlue NVidia image. That way it's an immutable distro, and the Nvidia driver is shipped as part of the image, so to avoid "partial updates" situations, or akmods failing to build, etc.
@customdesigned @thelinuxEXP @slimbook The only manufacturer that does it somewhat right is System76. While it doesn't make NVidia Linux-friendly overnight, their distro comes with pre-configured GPU proprietary drivers installed, several defaults to accomodate Nvidia's quirks (like X11 instead of Wayland by default) and they pay attention to couple kernel updates with NVidia drivers updates, so their users don't just randomly lose video after updates
