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

Yeah, I bought a Dell laptop for that reason. Turns out the spec I wanted wasn't available with Linux preinstalled, so I had to buy the Windows machine and install it myself anyway. At least I never had any real driver issues or anything else like that. Laptop lasted 10+ years running Linux practically the entire time.

Props to any OEM who supports Linux, bigger props to anyone who ships Linux preinstalled, biggest props to those who favor Linux by default and charge extra to install Windows or refuse to do it outright!

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