I like how you dismissed all the points that were inconvinient, and twisted one point as if I said Linux couldn't be preinstalled. I said it's rarely preinstalled on PCs and laptops. When was last time 45 year old dad you know installed Linux by himself, or installed custom android rom for that matter? It's way easier to just buy laptop with preinstalled windows.

I didn't twist anything. If you want to buy a Linux laptop it's as easy as googling for that. If you want to install Ubuntu, it's pretty much as easy as windows (maybe easier because it's not asking you to install all the bloat too).

To be fair, Windows doesn't ask to install all the bloat, it just does it lol

@Zeoic @Cethin, it's just fair, I don't ask either when I gut all this shit out.
