Are there any Canadian computer assemblers?
I’m looking for something like System76 or Framework (both US) or StarLabs (UK).

Learned about GNOME OS from @pojntfx@mastodon.social and also the concept of “distroless” https://os.gnome.org
Anyone have opinions, pointers, blog posts about GNOME OS and/or distroless?
I’m heading to Berlin next week. Come to the Berlin ATProto meetup if you want some stickers!

I've collected a few links in Semble around C-22, it's an open collection so you can add your own https://semble.so/profile/bmann.ca/collections/3mlsvwyz54h2t

@avi@cosocial.ca what’s great is that I can see the twinkle in your eyes as you type this.
Make some room at your supervillain lair, we’re making computers now, too!

@zelse@digipres.club oh nice, thank you! This is the first actually-made-in-Canada that I’ve had recommended https://eurocom.com (everyone else has just been a PV builder so far)
Appreciate the pointer!
And yeah lots of people use Clevo underneath

@zelse@digipres.club yeah it’s a hard business generally with low margins … but this is exactly why we should look to supply chains in Canada.
I spent some time looking at the configs. Amazingly wacky.

@alexziemianski@mstdn.ca interesting thank you.
I did ask for assemblers, but I guess I was thinking about those using their own brand rather than just reselling (like System76 / Framework / StarLabs)
And wondering what if any are made in Canada.
Replying to
@alexziemianski@mstdn.ca of course. I feel like the process of assembling & sourcing by System76/Framework/StarLabs (who make some of their own parts) is more cohesive, don’t you think?
