I'm impressed to see this paragraph in the README:

> System76 customers may request board schematics for their system by sending an email to firmware@system76.com with the subject line "Schematics for model", where model is one of the supported models listed above.

> Please include the serial number of your system for verification.

This means that you can actually troubleshoot and repair the board yourself, if you're so inclined.

That's awesome. I've emailed other manufacturers asking for documentation and the best I got was an unrelated user help page. If I remember correctly, some of their laptops are based on Clevo parts. I wonder why they can release documentation but Clevo can't.
This is neat. Why do they not provide the schematics for everyone though?
AFAIK same as Framework: It has to do with NDAs.
