I wonder what happened with those ZorinOS Star Labs laptops. They all say not available.

It appears you have to pre-order - they are not going to want to have lot's of hardware sitting not generating cash - remember, Linux isn't mainstream!

On the U.S. site it used to say you could pre-order but now it just says not available and lets you sign up for notifications when available.

That would explain it. Star Labs is based in UK. Personally, and this is due to personal preferences, I prefer the custom build option that Nova Custom offers.

Thank you. Out of my budget range. I'll stick with GalliumOS on an ancient 2014 Chromebook. Still works great!

Out of my budget too! I've been lucky in that work let me take an outdated D830 home that could not be updated to Win10 which currently has antiX 19 on but have same issue as antiX 17 had on D600 - 'no pinboard present' use 'rox -p' command to prevent seeing this message in future!

Oh! Antix run from a USB is now my next hobby project. Thanks for the tip!

You should really take a look at MX Linux 19 - best installer ever!
