    Bought a cheap laptop. Installed Linux on it. Was very happy, never saw spyware. But also I wiped the entire drive before even logging into windows.

      Same. I’ve had two used Dell laptops over the years, running Linux, and no major problems other than the batteries going bad. The most recent I’ve had for 10+ years now and it’s still going strong. Pretty sure it’s an ex-corporate machine if that makes any difference.
