Why should you buy Linux laptops?
- your hardware will just work with linux, so you won’t waste your time with hacky solutions
- you will be supporting linux friendly manufacturers and sending a clear market signal that people who like linux buy laptops!
- you will have the freedom to run anything you want on your laptop
