    Seems unfortunate that there’s no “pre-built ready to use with Linux pre-installed” option starting at ~$1499.

      A “Ubuntu LTS” option would be great here, yeah. It’d be next to impossible to support every distro and I get the feeling linux users who have distro preferences are also the type who would prefer to do it themselves.

      Source: Me I guess. I’d rather setup Fedora myself

        That’s good for workplaces at least. Everywhere I’ve worked, Ubuntu LTS is the standard with everything else being “good luck, just don’t let it get in the way of work”

          Those are the exact words my first boss used when on my first day, I asked if I could use linux mint instead haha. That’s pretty spot on.

          For good reason too, it has waaaay more support for your basic workplace apps than anything else (not that other things don’t but it’s easier to find a .deb than a .rpm)

      The slightly above average users wouldn’t accept it either way. “What is this ugly Ubuntu? I want my gentoo minimalist install with awesomewm” etc
