Switching to the Linux operating system offers convenience and economy. Upgrading to Linux is free, and you can install it on your existing hardware to replace Windows.

    There are. Several, in fact.

    • Framework will sell you a laptop with no OS, but each laptop is certified 100% compatible with Linux
    • For years, Dell has sold laptops with Linux pre-installed.
    • StarLabs sells desktops and a couple different types of laptops with Linux installed.
    • Lenovo (it may look like Windows only, but go into build one, and one of the OS choices is Ubuntu)
    • system76
    • HP Dev One (Hewlett-Packard)
    • Purism
    • and
    • more

    Hell, you can buy a laptop with Linux pre-installed from Amazon!

    That’s mostly focusing on just laptops; there’s a dozen other companies selling desktop and mini-PCs with Linux, and some hardware manufacturers (Raspberry, ODroid?) don’t even have Windows as an option.

    There is a wide variety of laptops, desktops, mini-PCs, and SBCs to buy with Linux pre-installed. I’m more surprised that there’s someone who thinks there isn’t, than by how many options there are.

        Good, valuable input.

        My next laptop will be a Framework; the self-repairability and upgradeability is intoxicating.
