Thank you for the quote, I hadn't seen that. I certainly didn't mean to trivialize their work (obviously? since I've voted with my wallet 3 times)
Their work on both the firmware front and with Pop!_OS should not be overlooked. And, it should be mentioned, if one is familiar with their whole product line - they now go far beyond just laptops for the open source community. And their powerhouses are absolutely not from some other OEM.
