Shipments of these systems have commenced, ensuring immediate availability for interested customers.
Randy Copeland, President and CEO of Velocity Micro, expressed enthusiasm about the company's venture into Linux-powered systems. "We've been preinstalling various flavors of Linux on custom server and workstation builds for years, which has really afforded us the opportunity to get hands-on to learn the OS," Copeland stated. He further emphasized the company's eagerness to share their acquired knowledge and introduce their customers to Ubuntu Linux.

The newly introduced Ubuntu Linux PCs by Velocity Micro are designed with hand-selected configuration options. These configurations have been prequalified for full support of Ubuntu 22.04, ensuring that customers face no drive conflicts or compatibility issues. This approach aims to simplify the purchasing process for consumers by eliminating the guesswork typically associated with custom PC configurations.
The lineup includes several notable products tailored to meet various needs and preferences:- ProMagix HD30: A compact Linux desktop powered by 14th Gen Intel Core processors, ideal for those seeking a small form factor chassis.- ProMagix HD80: A full tower chassis system that is perfect for both single and multithreaded applications or users who prioritize the security and openness of the Linux platform.- ProMagix HD150: Featuring Threadripper Pro processors, this workstation is designed to elevate Linux development to new heights.- NoteMagix M15: An ultra-slim laptop that combines style and power with new Intel Core Ultra processors in a metal body chassis.
