Name something hacker news readers like more than a literal linux box

Rust?

Are those another Clevo OEMs with custom sticker or something custom?

Yes but they also develop their own KDE spin of Ubuntu which I find very nice since it removes SNAP out of the box and uses more up to date packages and drivers than Debian. Basically exactly what I want from a distro today.
