    If a company is doing it it’s already is. But most are selling you windows compulsively.

      Huh, that changed? The last time i bought a Laptop in 2018, it was still more expensive to get one without Windows preinstalled.

        Oh, they fucking do that? Bloody hell, that’s low. Maybe it depends on a country, but when I bought my previous Lenovo around 2019, they had an option without the OS and it was slightly cheaper, and only available for a small subset of laptops.
        The only new laptop I got since was Framework, and obviously, they’re also great in this regard, but I feel like they’re outliers.
