@atomicpoet good question. There has been a steady increase in manufacturers that have pre-installed Linux options over the years. I think MS must be pressuring the manufacturers behind the scenes with Windows license pricing if they become too Linux-friendly.

I would personally love to have an arm64 Linux laptop that "just works". While there have been arm64 Windows laptops for a long time, they are still a rarity. Maybe that's because of all the proprietary legacy apps that only work on x86.
