Dell is (or was?) already selling laptops with Ubuntu. They have experience with it. They should put it on more machines and sell them for 100$ less. If people don't want Windows 11, offer them alternatives!
Still is
They are already much less due to big needing win license
Yeah, if you configure the laptop on Dells website, you can choose Ubuntu for some models.
I would love to see more Linux notebooks on third party online shops and offline stores. Not just from Dell, but also other vendors.
In my whole life, I never saw a Linux notebook in any local store. I'm living in Germany, so the situation might be different somewhere else, but I asume it's the same in whole Europe and north America.
