Great callout.
They're ripping off the name of a legitimate news/tech site, It's FOSS, which is not hosted on a Gitlab Pages site!
While the message is good, the article is AI slop with little to nothing in it that wasn't said in the title.
Good news. Linux can LLM - too
The year of the Linux desktop is here. Brought to you by astronomical hardware prices.
note that this is NOT itsfoss.com but some AI-generated itsfoss.gitlab.io
Dell tried this like 15 years ago. I bought a netboot sans windows and it came with Ubuntu. Maybe this time it will stick.
This story ~~information~~ seems like a ai-slop.

Edit: part of the information is correct. Just the Video you habe it from is BS
My brother is a sd card away from having linux on his laptop if win11 gives him any more shit.
I give it another month. Maybe two.
Let him test a live iso first.
It's going to end up being a full cold turkey install. He just needs a working machine.
Lenovo has been offering laptops without Windows for quite some time. I bought one with FreeDOS because I wanted to run Linux over 10 years ago. Really nice that they do that for you now.
So this is real? I remember that someone posted about this some days ago but is looked like a AI generated blog
The news seems real and not just Lenovo, Dell and others are testing the waters too.
They're no strangers to linux, Lenovo has had some kind of support for ages.
But coming with linux pre-installed by default? That'll be a first.
It’s not about licensing costs at least. Cheap laptops with office and other bloat, and windows home is probably under usd10 per laptop.
But hardware requirements are a huge difference and with the ram shortage…
Costs of having to deal with Micro$lop include licensing, extra TPM hardware, tech support, bloatware, etc.
Lol Bill Gates is worrying about what Russian girl he's going to rape next, he doesn't give a shit about Microsoft.
