A beautiful and powerful Linux computer manufactured in Denver, CO: Thelio. This desktop features an open-sourced daughterboard that was designed on KiCad. We share why open source hardware is important for an innovative future. We talk about the details around manufacturing a powerful desktop computer from the initial design, to fabrication to the final build, and the lessons we've learned along the way. In the end, we prove that you don’t have to compromise aesthetics, quality, and performance for open source freedom.
