Agreed. It's a good thing that more OEMs are supporting Linux out of the box.

- jseliger 4y agoIt's surprising to me that OEMs don't try to make every machine they sell Linux-ready and compatible, at the very least: OEMs have tied themselves to Microsoft by neglecting Linux, and in the process been party to problems like https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28639952 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28639952. If OEMs thought ahead, they could have made these changes 10 or 15 years ago, and perhaps have broken through the cost of Microsoft licenses. Instead, they've chosen what seems to be the short-sighted path.
- lnxg33k1 4y agoI to be honest have started thinking that there is a mutual interest for OEMs and Microsoft to support each other, like how many new laptops are going to be sold thanks to the windows 11 requirements? Meanwhile you get a Linux distro on a laptop from 20 years ago and either lxde or xfce or whatever and it runs almost like new OEMs then save the cost of license but open a Pandora box of voiding absolescence
