Unveiling the Fedora Slimbook | Fedora Podcast Ep. 31

A laptop built in collaboration with the Fedora Project and preloaded with Fedora Workstation is exactly the kind of hardware announcement I love covering. In this special episode I talked with Alejandro López and Vaja Benidze from Slimbook to unveil the Fedora Slimbook Edition and get into what makes it tick.

A few things worth carrying away from the conversation:

• This is a real Fedora-and-Slimbook collaboration, not just a sticker. Alejandro and Vaja described how the partnership came together, and it’s clear this machine was shaped with Fedora specifically in mind.
• The hardware details are where it got fun. We walked through what’s actually in the laptop, which matters if you’re weighing it as your next Linux machine.
• There’s a roadmap beyond this first announcement. The Slimbook team talked through future plans, so this unveiling reads like a starting point rather than a one-off.

If you want Fedora on a laptop that was built for it, this episode is a great intro.
