I think his primary goal is to mention system76 much as possible while pouring scorn on dell

Lol, scorn, that's a big word. I dislike System76 because they refuse to support European layouts. US only. I am very bitter about it.

I dislike most laptop manufacturers of this day, because they all either:

* Only make touch-screens in 4K

* Don't let you upgrade your RAM.

* Only sell with Windows bundled. Not paying for Windows, no thanks

Dell satisfied only one of those criteria. They are very high in my book. In fact, I am using one of their 4K monitors right now.

Check out tuxedocomputers, you can get a danish or swedish layout and configure the laptops to your liking. They use the same barebones System76 uses.

Thanks, will do

ggsdata.se sells the same laptop with Swedish keyboard and Linux pre installed.

I'm glad the Dutch never widely adopted a different keyboard layout. Vowels with diacritics and the € are entered using a software method (dead keys, compose key, etc.) on a standard US keyboard layout.

I agree with you on System76 though. I am in the process of being a Galago Pro, but I really wish they'd open up or partner with a reliable distributor in the EU to lower shipping costs, provide localised keyboard layouts, and avoid having to pay VAT at the door.
