Wait Nicco Loves Linux isn't it that KDE dev?
Yeah he's a KDE dev and has an actually quite good YouTube channel that really should have more subscribers than it does

That company is probably owned by This guy.
Yet another micro-celebrity whose 3 section wikipedia page has one third of it dedicated to "Sexual misconduct allegations"

Yeah, they're batshit

Well that was a crazy read. Never seen a company act this way before. Sounds like a very small operation. Unfortunately their products don't appeal to me at all, I'd much rather buy a Framework.

For the record Veitch is just a
comedianalleged rapist with absolutely no affiliation with MALIBAL. MALIBAL is run by Matthew Plott as listed here on their site. -
Now, I would love to know more about who's behind MALIBAL, and what's happening within the - probably, single-person - company. However, I have not found any information about that; if you have any, please feel free to contact me.
sorry did the author not come across the companies own about page?

As a KDE person, the random potshot at KDE for absolutely no reason is what got me lol.

Accessed the website using Chrome, on a Google Pixel, routed through a VPN exiting from Colorado.
Was looking for specifically an AMD laptop. WHAT NOW MALIBAL

Another scam company like framework trying to charge exorbitant fees for computers without dedicated GPUs.
Don't be fooled by the viral marketing/useful idiots, guys. Just go with the product that's the best deal for you.

Fun starts at "Geographical Restrictions"Most of this is because of some drama where they tried to port coreboot by lowballing some coreboot agencies who eventually told him to fuck off
