2015-10-01 Thread Andrew Lowe
Hi all, I'm getting disillusioned with the direction KDE is taking, with respect to forcing users to use things they don't want to. The semantic desktop, or whatever they are now calling bits and pieces of it, is one thing that comes immediately to mind. Anyway, I've decided to mov

Hi gang. I am looking in to buying a System76 rig, and I am curious as to how Gentoo and System76 play together. What installation steps do I need to beware of when installing to such laptops?
