> (despite the offensive and undignified name)

Would love to hear what is offensive and undignified about it.

> But I wouldn't buy a 1080p laptop in this day and age for any price.

Most laptops are 1080p (or less), but I guess you're allowed to have that opinion.

Personally I feel opposite about them. I like their hardware, hate the OS. POP OS! is ugly, full stop. They'd be better off going with Arch or Fedora base so they can keep closer to modern GNOME and potentially offer other DEs easier. Every beta they ship for POP is super broken in one way or another, and I hate cosmic, so I rock Arch on it.



Undignified is just a matter of taste, I guess, but it is offensive to me when companies expect (and even 'demand' sometimes, in their press guidelines) you to deviate from standard captialization norms.

I have an ipad, but Apple can fuck right off with the capital P.

But putting an exclamation point right in the middle of your product name is even worse. Like why don't they just call it "Hey! I'm An Asshole! OS" at that point.

I love their hardware, too, except their incomprehensible low-res screen fetish. (They even offer you a low-res desktop display option when you buy a $10,000 workstation.)

I mean even the 13" MacBook Pro in 2014 was 2560x1600. All my Dell laptops were at least 1440p and since a few years back, full 4K.
