From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I love the idea of such a computer so I wish that project the best.
It should just ship with Linux preinstall as their ethos aren’t compatible with windows for me.
It certainly seems strange to me that it officially supports Ubuntu and Fedora, yet doesn't offer the option of having it preinstalled
I think pretty much anyone buying one those laptops who wants Linux already knows how to install it and let's be honest if it ships with any given distro I think most would install their preference over it anyway
