There is a market.
- luke2m 5y agoMost people probably just want to buy Windows for less than full price.
- pkulak 5y agoTrue. But when you have to install Windows on it yourself, a non-zero number of folks will probably end up giving Linux a try, cus why not? It's always been a huge barrier for Linux that it's WAY more work to get going, when your computer shows up with Windows already on it.
- acomjean 5y agoWhen I looked to buy a linux laptop a couple years ago, my options were a few Dell Models, Lenovo (kindof) and system76. Finding if model XX-YYZZ supported linux and then purchasing and installing myself seemed like something I didn't want to do. So having this page from the manufacturer which says these linux distros work and here are the pitfalls is very helpful. You start to realize the problem is it seems to take a little while for hardware to get supported so linux laptops are always a little behind.
