Regardless of opinions on Razer this is a win. The bug corps are finally paying a bit of attention

There has been corps like dell offering Linux distros like 10-15 years ago, it just never was an attractive option compared to windows

But windows is killing itself

This is a gaming laptop though, it's a different market

Razer could bring the biggest bump to Linux market share since the Steam Deck, or possibly even more

The current biggest weakness of Linux is lack of OEMs shipping it. Most people do not want to install an OS themselves, or even know that it's possible.
