No they don't. Yes you do. And they definitely have to sell it if you're going to claim some sort of conflict of interest. It's not a selling point of their laptops, because you can remove it and install any other distro, and also (more importantly) you can use the distro on any other machine. You can buy a Framework laptop and put Pop OS on it. There's no logical reason to dissuade people from using it.

No, by my logic, Valve does not sell SteamOS, which is correct. Much like Pop, it's freely available to install on any machine, including Framework.

By your logic, Linus would hate SteamOS too.

Is this photo supposed to prove something? I don't see a charge for PopOS?
