The company utilizesfree and open-source software, and offers a choice ofUbuntu or their own Ubuntu-basedLinux distributionPop!_OS as preinstalled operating systems.[5]

History

[edit]

System76 was founded by Carl Richell and Erik Fetzer.[6] In 2003, Fetzer registered the domainsystem76.com to sell computers withLinux operating systems preinstalled, but the idea was not pursued until two years later. The number 76 in the company name is a reference to 1776, the year theAmerican Revolution took place. Richell explained that the company hoped to spark an "open source revolution", giving consumers a choice to not useproprietary software.[7]

In mid-2005, the founders considered whichLinux distribution to offer, withRed Hat Enterprise Linux,openSUSE,Yoper and other distributions evaluated. Ubuntu was initially dismissed, but Richell and Fetzer changed their mind quickly after a re-evaluation. Richell likedCanonical's business model of completelyfree software, backed by commercial support when needed. The first computers sold by System76 shipped withUbuntu 5.10 Breezy Badger preinstalled.[7]

In response to Canonical switching to theGNOME desktop from theUnity interface for future releases of Ubuntu in May 2017, System76 announced a new shell called Pop.[8] The company announced in June 2017 that it would be creating its own Linux distribution based on Ubuntu calledPop!_OS.[8][9]

System76 began manufacturing their Thelio line of desktops in 2018 at a factory in Denver, Colorado. The company moved into a 24,000-square-foot warehouse.[10]
