If online articles and blogs are any indication of things, the number of Linux users migrating to, and satisfied with, Ubuntu GNU/Linux seems to be staggering. Given that, it was only a matter of time before a capable company had the resources to offer accessible, affordable Linux desktops and notebooks that delivered the way that Apple's products have. Colorado-based System76 sent us their Darter Ultra for review, and proved that there is an OEM hardware/software combination capable of being the primary PC for the general public.

> I'm surprised to see System76 not change this to suspend or hibernate by default.
I agree. System76 should have modified this behavior before selling their machine. By default it is set to just blank the screen I think, because the Gnome/ACPI developers are not sure if the PC/laptop supports hibernation/suspend correctly or not. So they take the easy way out of simply blank the screen or not blank it at all. You need to tell it otherwise in the Gnome Power Manager applet. But you see, this is why a user would buy from System76 and not a random laptop. Because they EXPECT such DETAILS to be already configured by the manufacturer. System76 has to learn these little tricks as they go along.
