that’s one of the reasons i think Lenovo has won the laptop war, they include all operating systems and make it very easy to install any on your device, i love Ubuntu a lot, and chromeOS too

    I’ve bought my last two laptops from System76. They default to their own PopOS now but you can still get ubuntu if you prefer.

    Also, i didn’t realize there was a laptop war. But if anyone is winning, i’d have to say it’s apple. Obviously anecdotal, but i think i see more macbooks than any other specific laptop manufacturer.

      Apple’s definitely crushing the game. It’s almost to a point where there’s no real competitor.

      If we’re only talking about build quality, Surface laptops are one of my favorites. Too bad you have to go through some unnecessary hackery to use Linux on them properly.

      I considered ordering my next machine from System76, but they’re located in the US and I’m Canadian and don’t want to pay import fees/duty.
