The average person dont like linux, and if they buy a linux laptop the reason is because its cheaper than the windows one. So why manufacturers still use unknown distros (like lenovo with endlessos) and not something like ubuntu or mint?
I’ve never seen anything else than just Ubuntu or customized Ubuntu preinstalled on laptops.
Endless OS sounds like an actually good distribution, though. It’s based on Debian, it’s immutable, they publish their software as FOSS and they submit upstream patches.
The UI (which is a modified Gnome desktop) looks beginner friendly and easy to use.
If it’s based on Debian then 90% of guides online will work with it anyway
Most of the Laptops I see with Linux are Ubuntu, some Ubuntu based distro like Tuxedo, Pop_OS, or Linux mint, and very Rarely Fedora (I’m not sure, but I think I saw one ship with Fedora).
Where do you see this??
Probably support purposes but really anyone that uses Linux will just install their favorite distro right away.
I use arch btw…
