Just build one, cheaper to boot.
Ew and buy components? No thank you, just mine, smelt, and build them, cheaper to boot.

At least when it came to a laptop, I bought mine without a preinstalled OS - that is far more common than preinstalled Linux.
Build one!
I built one — took about 4 hours once all the parts arrived. My first build. Installed Linux Mint from a flash drive and it worked perfectly. Ended up switching to Zorin OS later — also works fine.
I have been able to play every game I wanted, except one requiring a VR headset.

System76, Dell, HP.
That said, I feel it's very worth taking an evening to backup and install yourself
Steam deck maybe

Finally, the year of the Linux desktop
Once Cosmic DE release, trust me bro
I actually had a nightmare last night that my computer updated itself to some horrid version of windows and I spent it all frantically looking for my windows 7 ISO and keygen among old backups to blow it away and start again.
its bad enough i have to constantly kill the oobe crap every few minutes. glad i dont have that to pile on
