Go Forth and Make

System76 proudly engineers and manufactures premium Linux computers and keyboards at our factory in Denver, Colorado. Our user-driven products, alongside Pop!_OS, give creators, makers, and builders the means to bring forth the future.

The History Behind the System76 Name

Ever since the company’s origin, we've focused on technology freedom. The freedom to truly own a computer you purchased, and upgrade or repair it yourself. The freedom to use your software how you see fit, and alter it for your current project. The freedom to learn how your system works, as well as make improvements. And for us, the freedom to make the best product possible for our users. In reference to the American Revolution, the 76 in our name declares our independence from proprietary empires through the freedom that open source technology provides. Will you join us?

Who are we

Our Mission

Our mission is to liberate the computer entirely. The hardware, firmware, and operating system. We build powerful open source computers, keyboards, and software, empowering creators, makers, and builders to unleash their potential.

Our Vision

By liberating the computer, the most versatile and powerful tool humans have created, we empower everyone to accelerate discovery and innovation, free of limitations.

Our Values

We’re innovators. We’re not here to reinvent the wheel. We’re here to dismantle the wheel, see how it works, and remantle it into a warp drive. Take that, wheel. We’re open. Like one of those neon signs in the window, but for our minds. (And our code.) We give a science. Everything we make is the result of user feedback. You want more battery life? Done. Manufacture computers in-house? Yep. Find a speeling error on our website? We’ll fix that, too. We’re nerds. And we’re proud of it. We even have lasers. We’re us. We believe in our work because we believe in yours. Whether you’re building robots, sequencing DNA, developing firmware, or going to space, we want to help you get there.

YOUR RIGHT TO REPAIR

System76 is, and always will be, a manufacturer and advocate of open source products. It’s in our DNA. Errr...code. We believe in you having ownership over your technology, meaning you have the right to repair it, modify it to meet your needs, or dismantle it into 1001 pieces to see how it works. Your computer is yours—and nothing less.
