Lol, you beat me to commenting this. Nice to see SteamOS finally got its day in sun.

> Linux desktop users are typically those who value an open source operating system and appreciate the speed, security and user experience of this open-source software. Linux may not be the most polished OS, but it’s on the cutting edge of innovation. If there’s a security hole, developers usually release an update within the day. Instead of waiting months for update packages, Linux users receive regular updates as new technology becomes available. To top it all off, Linux is free and supports a culture of collaboration in the software world.
Really feel like they buried the lede here. Imagine paying full price for a Windows OS to use on a Raspberry PI or even those cheap Android tablets.

Let's not act like anyone pays full price for Windows Licences. Microsoft gets next to nothing if Lenovo sells a cheap laptop with Windows.

It's LLM-generated content.

#16That's pretty a good description for the general audience. From what I remember, previously, most general vendors would hide their Linux laptop offerings and you'd find them by a special link only or had to search for them. Now going to https://www.lenovo.com/us/en/faqs/operating-systems the section is about equally divided between Linux and Windows questions. "How to install Kali Linux", "How to Install Linux on a C…

It would be nice if they sold more blank or Linux machines without the Windows tax. They have a very small number of the latter.
It should be an option to opt out for any machine, even if they warn that Linux is not supported on that device.

#18What is Lear
A Shakespearean tragedy, worth a look if you haven't seen it yet.

Any 'build your own' laptop has an OS-option on which you can remove windows. Most normal laptops can be found as a 'build your own' option and they result in the same price.
I think allowing you to choose 'remove windows' on any laptop doesn't make sense for them and would just lead to loads of support calls.
At least, that's what it is in my geo-location.
