We will be moving Virgo laptop PCB design to this public, GPLv3 licensed project: https://github.com/system76/virgo/. This will be the most open, modern x86 motherboard design I know of.

system76 has produced laptops for years that support Linux, but they have always been rebrands of Clevo. Now that they will be designing their own in-house laptop, Principal Engineer Jeremy Soller has announced that it will be completely open, and licensed under the GPLv3.

Sabaidee, Welcome!

This is a community for promoting sustainability in tech and computing. This includes: understanding the impact that our tech/computing choices have on the environment; purchasing or re-using devices that are sustainable and repairable; how to properly recycle or dispose of old devices when it is beyond use; and promoting software and services that allow us to reduce our environmental impact in the long term, both at work and in our personal lives.

This isn’t a competition, it’s a reminder to stay grounded when making your decisions. Remember: The most sustainable device is the one that you are already using.

Rules:

Stay on-topic. Everything from sustainable smartphones to data centers and the green energy that powers them is fair game.
Be excellent to each other.
