Wow. The probably most popular on-line shop in Holland and Belgium is selling Linux laptops, with currently a choice of twenty laptops with Linux preinstalled, prices go from about 500 to over 3000 Euros. They usually partner with other companies to deliver the products. The names of these Linux laptops companies were unknown to me till today.

(Not wanting to “spam” in favor of them, only wanting to share this development, but if you want to fact check, try “linux laptop kopen” without the “” in Duckduckgo, and choose Belgium for country, and you will probably see that big name as the first hit).

    A big breakthrough is major OEMs, namely Dell and Lenovo, starting to ship computers with Linux, generally with models aimed at the professional/enterprise market. Maybe things are finally looking up for the pipe dream of desktop Linux (excluding non-FLOSS ones like Chrome OS) rivalling the likes of Windows and Mac OS!
