    I don’t really see the advantage of something like this for me, Most of the time, I blast the OS away anyway, even if it’s an os I actually use, I use gentoo, but I said I don’t see the point for someone like me, But if it’s your cup of tea, go for it. I’m glad to see more manufacurers support linux though!

      It’s big for businesses who now don’t have to manually install linux on unsupported hardware, they can just buy dell laptops with linux and get dell’s exclusive software and official support. And the more businesses with linux means more enterprise software for linux.

      I mainly think this is the gateway to more people even knowing about Linux, plus the added benefit of the hardware being more likely to get long-tern support. Making it easy for people to buy devices with Linux out of the box could do wonders for adoption, at least how I see it.
