that’s one of the reasons i think Lenovo has won the laptop war, they include all operating systems and make it very easy to install any on your device, i love Ubuntu a lot, and chromeOS too

    It’s a step in the right direction. Linux has come a long way to becoming a user friendly OS that most people can easily use. The main problem is adoption, since most people can’t be arsed to research and download a distro, make a bootable usb drive with it, configure the bios to boot from the usb drive, and install linux. Having it pre-installed makes it easier for to people to hit the ground running. That said, companies need to explore more than ubuntu. I think Mint should be the default gateway distro. They can also maybe give the buyer an option during purchase to choose what distro they want to try.
