There's an interesting alternative world in which 10 or 15 years ago, HP and other vendors committed to making sure that Linux was and is a first-class OS on every single machine they sell. That means Linux works with the touchpad, sleep works, wifi works, and so on. Every single machine has a prompt that says "Windows pre-installed only" "Windows + Linux installed" or "Linux-only." Today a lot of Lenovo machines work well with Linux but don't ship with those options. Dell has its XPS line. Everyone else is still predominantly Windows, especially on laptops.
