System76 and Ampere Collaborate on New Thelio Astra: An Interview with Joe Speed
And so for the work that I've been doing around arm, native automotive, robotics, all these kinds of things, I know how important the developer community is. And I knew System76, you occupy a really interesting place in that ecosystem. I started over a year ago, reaching out to System76, talking about getting something going. So Carl, Jeremy and folks got some ampere gear in house. You were using it in house for like nine months to develop Pop!_OS for Arm64. You were doing some raspberry PI stuff, like developing, building, testing arm software, mostly for the PI community.
And it’s at the point which you all decided that there is something there. And we got really serious about what can we do together and what can we do in a big way. So that's my journey with y'all.
