Wish all the companies I bought from called me a zombie from the abyss 🥰

This is not the first time Malibal made an appearance.
Last time I heard about them, they shafted the CoreBoot people then also banned the several countries from doing business with them.
Malibal is legitimately insane.

Wait Nicco Loves Linux isn’t it that KDE dev?
Yeah he’s a KDE dev and has an actually quite good YouTube channel that really should have more subscribers than it does
Agreed
First I thougt its just a prank by a bored social media intern, but it looks like the whole company is built on this insane absurd communication. It was a hilarious read :D
how the hell are they still in business lmao
No publicity is bad publicity I guess?
The whole company is just the one guy. He obviously has mental health issues.
Accessed the website using Chrome, on a Google Pixel, routed through a VPN exiting from Colorado.
Was looking for specifically an AMD laptop. WHAT NOW MALIBAL
But I notice that they don’t say they’ll ban everyone from Feddit…?
So, maybe there’s some hope for them yet…
No soup for you!
finally, the official laptop of schizophrenia
Need to install templeOS on it
Now, I would love to know more about who’s behind MALIBAL, and what’s happening within the - probably, single-person - company. However, I have not found any information about that; if you have any, please feel free to contact me.
sorry did the author not come across the companies own about page?
https://www.malibal.com/features/about-us/
lol thats neat, malibal is based directly across the street from the palms casino in vegas.
😂watch me get all of DC banned for that emoji
That “about” page is fucking wild. They spend like half the page sucking themselves off over how great of a job they did designing their own logo, and then the other half telling the user the proper way to reference the company and its products. I really want to spend some time on the live chat breaking all the rules, like not capitalizing every letter of their name…
I like how they take a moral stance against Apple and Google, but then proudly display Boeing and the US Air Force as customers.
Yeah, they’re batshit
As i understand it, the OEM business has razor thin margins as it is. This seems like an aggressively unsustainable business practice, to the point that it’s making me wonder what their game is…
I was under the impression, from reading one of the developers write of his interaction with the owner, that they’re just selling dropped shipped white label laptops.
They’re simply add branding and a disk image which the white label manufacturer applies before shipping.
So it doesn’t even seem to be an OEM… Just some guy trying to make an easy buck with some slick marketing and white label laptops… he just couldn’t get the image setup and failed spectacularly in collaboration with the people who could help him.
Well that was a crazy read. Never seen a company act this way before. Sounds like a very small operation. Unfortunately their products don’t appeal to me at all, I’d much rather buy a Framework.
Fortunately
That company is probably owned by This guy.
Yet another micro-celebrity whose 3 section wikipedia page has one third of it dedicated to “Sexual misconduct allegations”
For the record Veitch is just a
comedianalleged rapist with absolutely no affiliation with MALIBAL. MALIBAL is run by Matthew Plott as listed here on their site.
Just as a info, they are a Clevo reseller: https://linustechtips.com/topic/802163-clevo-custom-laptops-and-world-clevo-resellers/#comment-10086025
That probably also applies to a lot of other small size linux laptop companies that are not doing a lot of custom stuff in their laptops.
What in the fuck?
It just kept going. Calling customers “zombies”… bannung people from using chrome to access website, banning “regular reddit users”… banning particular countries for pettt grudges with like, a few individuals???
Probably just shitty ass company. honestly their act like ass to everyone tell me is bis red flag company
This hurts to read because of how badly written it is. Do you not read what you’ve written?
I thought the article would end there. It just kept goooooooooinnnnggggggg
I kind of like the utter insanity that seems to be their norm. Not going to buy anything from them but still.
It makes me sad that you had to spend so much time with this topic. But thank you for publishing it ❤️
Oh no I’m not the person who runs the blog. I just saw it posted on the Tumblr Linux community and wanted to repost it here. Happy to share it ofc! 😄
