As Torvalds pointed out in 2019, is that while some major hardware vendors do sell Linux PCs – Dell, for example, with Ubuntu – none of them make it easy. There are also great specialist Linux PC vendors, such as System76, Germany’s TUXEDO Computers, and the UK-based Star Labs, but they tend to market to people who are already into Linux, not disgruntled Windows users. No, one big reason why Linux hasn’t taken off is that there are no major PC OEMs strongly backing it. To Torvalds, Chromebooks “are the path toward the desktop.”



I tend to keep to Lenovo, and have noticed that it will vary per device.
Some devices when on deep discount will go up in price if you switch from Windows to Linux as the OS selection - because the discount was on a specific configuration and now you have gone outside that.
On other devices, you switch from Windows to Linux, and you save $$. Pretty hit/miss.
