I don't understand why System 76 keyboards for their higher end laptops include a numeric keypad. Doesn't seem worth the downside of narrowing keys that I'll predominantly use. Is there much demand for numeric keypads that aren't better served with an external USB addition? Is it because the internals or screen need the extra width anyway and they're filling in what would be unused space?
Lately I find even 17" laptops without the numeric keypad (but with empty spaces at the borders...), it's very unsettling.
For example, the Lemur Pro 14 looks like a Clevo L141CU which is also sold by Schenker (or Tuxedo for a Linux version). You can probably find a brand that retails in your area/country/continent.
Coincidentally, I was just on their site this morning looking at their wood paneled workstations.
I'm personally not sure about pop!_os though. I would have like them to offer a mint option as part of the standard builds.
It would have been nice (imho) if they offered Mint as an option as it would potentially save me the pain of hunting down the proper drivers and hoping I can figure out how to install them and get the workstation I want to actually work.
Install whichever Just Works distro. I recommend Linux Mint because it just works.
