I feel like this is such a common refrain and yet when a maker like System76 tries to enter this market they still still fuck it all up by jamming a number pad in the side. Why do they all do this?
System76 is using OEM gaming laptops, so are probably a little limited in what they can do.
They keys are slightly smaller (I think), but I have gotten used to them. I do like having the number pad though.
The only thing I'm missing in my mac -> linux conversion, is lightroom (it seems to process raw files better). I'm getting better at the linux equivalent "darktable". I sometimes feel I would pay for software on linux to get a polished experience.
