Holy shit, if they can do this, how come no linux distro is doing it?

More importantly, are they also going to defeat the AMD equivalent? (I forget its name)

Either way, it looks like right now, Intel + System76 is the way forward. How close is this to Linux in terms of compatibility?

They have their own Linux distro called Pop! OS that's based on Ubuntu.

Well goddamn, now all I gotta do is change my high end AMD system for an Intel one and I'm free. Digitally, at least.
