    System76 Darter Pro Linux laptop review


    In a world where people primarily think of Mac and Windows as the two main operating systems for computers, there are other options available for those with specific needs or who want to break free from the constraints of these operating systems. Linux has remained a popular choice for developers, tech enthusiasts, and privacy-conscious users, and the demand for high-quality hardware in this realm has never been greater. 

    Like all the best Linux laptops we’ve tested, the Darter Pro is designed with these users and Linux in mind, making it a strong option in a market filled with alternatives. System76, a company known for its dedication to open-source software and user empowerment, offers a machine that not only meets the technical requirements of its users but also reflects the principles of the Linux community. Whether you need a robust development environment, a secure computing experience, or a reliable laptop that works seamlessly, the Darter Pro offers a top-notch solution that distinguishes it from other Linux-compatible laptops.

    The Darter Pro comes in standard, minimalistic packaging that includes the laptop, charger (with a barrel connector, though this can also be charged via USB-C), and standard documentation. It’s well-packaged, secure, and straightforward. The laptop is constructed from alloy and plastic, giving it a sturdy yet lightweight feel. The lid and bottom panels are made of magnesium, while the bezel and palm rest are plastic.

    Setting up the Darter Pro is straightforward, with options to configure the system upon the first boot. Users can opt to set up full-disk encryption and select their preferred language and keyboard layout.
