    I’m conflicted here. I applaud him for standing up for his rights and donating the bulk of it to the FSF but the other part of me wonders why, when there are several laptops that ship with Linux these days, one would buy a laptop that comes with Windows and then spend the time and effort to get a refund for Windows. System76; Star Labs; Purism; Vikings; Retro Freedom; Pine64; Think Penguin; I could go on. The amount of options we have for laptops with Linux in mind are plentiful. It is much easier, and better for the Linux community to spend your money and be supporting those who support you out of the gate.

      Because user freedom. Also, very few laptops have the same build quality of some thinkpads.
