    Ok, so this solidifies my desire to never buy a Windows PC/laptop and why my switch to Mac was a good choice a few years ago. However Mac gaming is nowhere near where it should be right now and I was thinking about getting a cheap Windows laptop for games that aren’t available on Mac.

    I remember a push a few years ago to get some linux distros pre-installed on some OEM hardware but I didn’t hear much of anything past the hype. Anyone have any good OEM brands that have linux installed instead of Windows and are relatively affordable?

      It’s funny that with how enclosed the Apple ecosystem is, even they don’t force you to create an Apple account to use macOS.

      Framework laptops can come with optionally no OS if you choose, and I can attest to their build quality being quite good.

      I know there are some brands that will have Linux pre-installed, but I don’t know enough about them to comment.
