There are. Several, in fact.
- Framework will sell you a laptop with no OS, but each laptop is certified 100% compatible with Linux
- For years, Dell has sold laptops with Linux pre-installed.
- StarLabs sells desktops and a couple different types of laptops with Linux installed.
- Lenovo (it may look like Windows only, but go into build one, and one of the OS choices is Ubuntu)
- system76
- HP Dev One (Hewlett-Packard)
- Purism
- and
- more
Hell, you can buy a laptop with Linux pre-installed from Amazon!
Thatβs mostly focusing on just laptops; thereβs a dozen other companies selling desktop and mini-PCs with Linux, and some hardware manufacturers (Raspberry, ODroid?) donβt even have Windows as an option.
There is a wide variety of laptops, desktops, mini-PCs, and SBCs to buy with Linux pre-installed. Iβm more surprised that thereβs someone who thinks there isnβt, than by how many options there are.
Just jumping in to say I would recommend trying something other than a StarLabs laptop. Not impressed with my Starbook MKV at all (good on paper, cheap quality in person and loses battery when the lid is shut), so I need to constantly charge it. My next one will probably be from purism.
