I mean who cares?
99.9999999% of people will want Windows, if you are going to run a obscure OS then you would choose a machine that runs that best, so just don't buy one of these.
It's not up to hardware OEM's to support or even allow you to install some weird OS.
- habitue 4y agoThis attitude is kind of the ios-flavored "computers are appliances I license from the manufacturer at their pleasure" not "computers are general purpose devices I purchase and can then do what I want with"
- ChildOfChaos 4y agoWell as long as you know what you are buying when you buy it that is your choice. You can't do whatever you want with most things that you buy and most consumers do not care like most hacker news readers do, people just want something that does the task they bought it for and don't need to tinker with it. Most people buying a laptop don't really think of the OS is running, they just expect it to be Windows and assume that it is part of computer itself.
