    Because do they sell Linux laptops, Microsoft can simply charge them more for Windows liscences

      So I guess the Linux options that aren’t Ubuntu simply get thrown out the windows because of this (pun massively intended)?

          I simply don’t ever recall seeing a different Linux distribution on laptops sold by da big bois. It’s usually the smaller companies like Slimbook and Kubuntu Focus. Why? Idk, I’m probably just misinformed. If that’s the case, there’s this arrow pointing down button. Go ahead, press it.

          Why do I keep asking for downvotes?

            It’s because the big boys can risk the occasional Linux laptop without angering M$, they shop Ubuntu because it’s still the most popular. Limux specific manufacturers often ship Ubuntu based distros (tuxedo-os, pop!_os ect) because it’s a good base
