You can buy laptops with pre-installed Linux at Germany's biggest computer retailer now.
Tuxedo laptops seem like they have a solid build.
Nice design and I think they are based in Germany.
They even provide their own OS which is based on Ubuntu.
Yes, very happy with mine. Started it up to see the preinstalled version of Linux and then restarted it to install Arch btw instead, but it's a great wee machine, exactly what I wanted and will be replacing it with another like it when the time comes.
My M1 MacBook Air is still alive and kicking (although I dislike being an American brand - bought it before the whole American mess).
But if I was in the market looking for a laptop, definitely would be a Tuxedo.
Dell sells PCs pre-configured with linux as well.
I had no idea - that's really cool!
Germans also seem to be privacy oriented people, I can imagine this combined with recent developments could have a real impact.
