But they do offer to ship with a Linux distro, even apart from this strange frankensystem option. Did you miss where straight Ubuntu is a pre-install option?
- throwaway742 4y agoAccording to another commenter some laptops don't have Ubuntu as an option (likely due to some sort of driver issues).
- quietbritishjim 4y agoYes and they charge for that, so that's consistent with what the parent comment said.

- mtrower 4y agoErm...no? Look at the screenshot in the article. There is no charge for Ubuntu in that shot, only for Windows.
- quietbritishjim 4y agoOops, you're right. I did look at the screenshot before but totally misread it (probably because Ubuntu is just blank in the price column rather than $0, and there's no horizontal lines (thanks Tufte)).
