    Let’s see who considers the Linux options when they see they can get the same machine for 200 bucks cheaper. I hope other brands start considering doing this too.

      It’s more probable people buying cheaper and then installing Windows afterwards - a lot more probable than starting their tech life from scratch.

        Then they could just not have an is preinstalled. No need for Linux first unless you don’t already have a device to create the ISO with. (Which is something I’d expect most people to have access to if they know how to install windows)

        I really do believe that this is marketed towards people who want to use Linux.

          I once installed Linux on my machine and my physical keyboard magically transformed into a Dvorak keyboard and the mouse vanished, replaced by a note saying “Terminal is more ergonomic”.

          Made the setting up ritual way harder than it should have been :(
