One annoying thing about the #starbookmkvi is that the screws keep coming loose, so you have to tighten them periodically.

There are some small PC manufacturers that only build Linux PCs. Perhaps the oldest and most well-known is U.S.-based System 76. In Europe there is Tuxedo (Germany), Star Labs (UK) and Slimbook (Spain) that all provide "Linux first" computers.

The flashrom integration is also gone; the only OEM using this was #StarLabs and they've moved to the much more stable mtd and UEFI capsule updates. We've got a tiny plugin that tells people on old firmware versions how to update manually.
The libflashrom support always felt like an impedance mismatch with the plugin architecture, and the plugin itself was a constant source of integration issues -- and also several additional runtime deps. This means packagers can drop flashrom-dev too.

StarFighter Linux laptop with detachable webcam and premium specs is finally shipping
Star Labs has been selling Linux laptops and mini PCs since 2017. While most of the company’s products have featured budget or mid-range hardware, Star Labs introduced a premium laptop called the StarFighter in 2022… and then never managed to ship that laptop. Until now.
The Star Labs StarFighter is a Linux laptop with a 16 inch high-res, high refresh-rate display, Intel and AMD processor […]

@RootMoose yes, thanks. i was looking at this same one. couldn't quite tell if it's a 2in1 or a tablet w/ an attachable keyboard. tho if it's powerful enough, i guess it doesn't matter
Anyone have any experience w/ #StarLabs #StarLite laptop/tablet?

I'm thinking about buying a StarBook Ultra by @starlabssystems and I'm wondering if someone here on the Fediverse (not related to StarLabs) owns one and could share some personal opinions and insights about it?
https://de.starlabs.systems/products/starbook-ultra
Besides regular office work, I do some content creation, 3D modelling, local AI stuff (just tinkering).
I'm looking for decent hardware I actually own and control, and I want to use it for a looooong time (10+ years).
Currently, I'm using a MacBook Pro M1, so this is my benchmark (material, battery life, computational power). But I really miss Linux and GNOME...
Planned OS: Fedora Linux

Starting my journey of switching from Windows to #Linux as my daily driver - I have a shiny new #Starlabs laptop with #Ubuntu, just went through the first-boot process, and it's already perplexing.
Apparently the default user UID has changed from 500 to 1000... Which is annoying, because I'd like to keep my systems consistent, and I am UID 500 on the two servers we're running (both of which were set up *mumble* years ago).
How much trouble am I going to cause myself if I change my UID from 1000 to 500 on this new laptop?

Does anyone here have a Starlabs laptop? I would love to hear your feedback. What's great, what's not so great?
Thanks!

Another rant: the other day I made a poll about looking at laptops and I mentioned I was looking into the Starlabs Horizon.
Not sure why I got it all mixed up but I'm pretty perplexed in their choice of using an Intel i3-N305. Maybe for better battery life? The more I looked into it, I guess I really don't know who this laptop is built for.
I'm still on the market but I think I'll end up getting a refurbished ThinkPad.

Thinking to buy a new laptop as the prices ramp up right now. Can't decide between a #Framework 13, #Tuxedo Infinitybook 14 Pro Gen 10 or maybe even something like a #Starlabs Starbook. Prices are quite different. Repairability / upgradability is important to me. Also, I want to use #NixOs and will mainly use it for software development and photo editing.
Maybe someone here can recommend one? 🙏🏻😄 -

I'm in the market for a new (or newish to me) laptop. My budget is roughly $800-1.1k USD. I think I've narrowed it down to a few but would love to hear the community's input.
This will be used for light development, studying, coding, and some light gaming.

@pganssle It might depend on where you are located:
#System76 within US
#starlabs within UK
#tuxedocomputers or #slibmook in EU

Ordered the StarLabs StarBook. I'll have it in a few days, so I don't know how the device itself looks and feels yet, but I have to say:
Communications with #StarLabs about the order so far has been absolutely stellar.
The delivery is a bit fraught for independent reasons, and StarLabs went out of their way to communicate clearly and adjust their regular shipping schedule to accommodate this.
Truly a breath of fresh air in that regard. Here's hoping the laptop meets the same high standard!

So I got a #StarLiteV from #starlabs What a great tablet. Everything works out of the box and it's fast!
I put Arch on it, btw.

@Anachron @mxk @starlabssystems very long time for it to finally arrive. I ordered it ~2 years ago iirc (would need to check the exact date). I have one of the early model modes from the first batch, i.e. it has a 3k display and a N200 chip. Some things might (!) have bevome better with the N350 and the 2k screen of later batches but most of my points still stand. From my experience and for my use case/expectations, it's disappointing to say the least. <<

Over the next few years I would like to be replacing my devices with easy use-repairable alternatives: things such as the FairPhone (de-googleified) and StarLite V tablet will become my daily drivers!
The hope here is then to have the life-cycle of a device to be 10+ years replacing any part that breaks. I’m done with these locked down pieces of hardware that mess replacing every 5 years because I can’t replace the stupid charging port! :akko_angry:

I have a @starlabssystems Starlite MK V and I want Gnome to go into the "Tablet" mode whenever I fold the keyboard to the back (deactivate keyboard and open the on screen keyboard). It seems like there is no intended way how to do that therefore I wrote a small workaround.
Does anyone have a better idea?

Is anyone using the Starlite Linux tablet by Starlabs, or have an opinion on it? I am in need of a new daily driver tablet and would like to go full Linux, if possible.

@itsfoss If you can afford to, just buy a computer from a Linux-only vendor like #Purism, #Tuxedo, #Slimbook, #StarLabs, #System76, etc. You will get professional support, and contribute towards making desktop Linux really succeed.
If you can't afford it, ask your local retailers to sell computers with #Linux, otherwise you'll take your money elsewhere.
