Wow. The probably most popular on-line shop in Holland and Belgium is selling Linux laptops, with currently a choice of twenty laptops with Linux preinstalled, prices go from about 500 to over 3000 Euros. They usually partner with other companies to deliver the products. The names of these Linux laptops companies were unknown to me till today.
(Not wanting to “spam” in favor of them, only wanting to share this development, but if you want to fact check, try “linux laptop kopen” without the “” in Duckduckgo, and choose Belgium for country, and you will probably see that big name as the first hit).
tbf neither had I before I saw an interview with one of the devs, and a complaint from a friend of mine, who had one of the laptops that came with it (since it was cheaper), didn’t like it and switched to windows
