Yes, but pretty much everybody got their start with Linux by installing it on a computer they already had and experimenting with it, whether it was the family computer, an old laptop, etc.
If you start needing to buy specialist hardware before you can even try out something other than Windows, the barrier to entry and inertia this creates will mean less and less people ever even develop a desire to try it.

- charcircuit 3y agoThe barrier to use Linux is lower than ever and doesn't require installing a new base os. On Windows you can just install Ubuntu from the microsoft store or run "wsl --install"
