Aside from the lousy speakers and the occasional bounce keys, I have to say the Lemur Pro may be my favorite laptop I have owned (I used MacBook Pros for a long time).

I ended up switching to Arch with KDE, but hardware-wise it’s a solid machine. And I appreciate the technical support I’ve received (minor issues). I love the battery life on this thing.

I also appreciate: easy to swap SSDs, easily replaced battery, a keyboard and track pad that work just fine, and again: tech support. I know some people who have issues with sleep on Lenovo laptops running Linux; this has absolutely never been an issue on the Lemur Pro. Works perfectly for me.

I’ll probably run this thing for another three years.

    About moving to Arch, I have a Mira on order and I’m strongly considering not using Pop for very long after playing it in a VM for a week or so. I don’t care for the “bubble gum” look and feel, and this will be my work machine so I’m looking elsewhere.

    I don’t think Arch would be good for a work machine, although I enjoy using Arch on my personal gear.

    Was it something about Pop that made you switch?

      No, I just wanted something that was closer to the philosophy of FreeBSD. I consider FreeBSD the OS that god uses. 😄

      I could just as easily have installed Arch with GNOME.

      I really don’t have issues with Pop_OS. It’s fine. I just prefer KDE. And I wanted an OS that wasn’t based on Ubuntu. (I know people who have worked at Canonical and just … I have heard horror stories). I don’t trust Canonical.

      I think for a newbie to Linux there is nothing to complain about with Pop_OS. It worked just fine for me for about two years. I just wanted to move to Arch and it has been pretty much painless.

      Gotta love the freedom of choice in the Linux world.

    Mine has lousy speakers, awful click action on the touch pad, doesn’t close up neatly, runs warm, doesn’t have the greatest battery life. I installed Mint because Pop!_OS drives me up the wall too much.

    The touch pad is the worst, as I fumble trying to find the exact spot to press for a click to be recognized, and try to operate it without making the pointer jump off the item I was trying to click on.

      Odd. I find this very odd. I have had none of the issues you mention.

      Touch pad is fine, the machine does not run warm, but I can’t comment on Pop_OS as I moved to Arch.

      Have you reached out to S76? The few times I have, they have been very responsive.
