How does new ubuntus work?

[wrender]

When the new version of Ubuntu comes out how does that relate to system76?

[thomasaaron]

When the new version of Ubuntu comes out, System76 will test it on all of our computers and send out bug fixes via the System76 driver (if necessary).

So I would just download ubuntu the normal way then I guess there is some sort of repo for sys76 that I add and all is well?

[thomasaaron]

Yes, that is what you would do if you were doing a fresh install: Install Ubuntu, install the System76 driver, run the System76 driver and reboot.

If you just upgrade from one version of Ubuntu to another, you would just upgrade to the new version, run the System76 driver and reboot.

Would it be the same with kubuntu?

[thomasaaron]

Yes. While we do not officially support Kubuntu and Xubuntu, the System76 driver will run on them. The fixes are *usually* the same.
