That makes sense. Probably should have occurred to me if I took a minute to think about it. In the final analysis, I guess it’s worth a few extra bucks to get something that isn’t entangled in the Microsoft ecosystem.

Oh, no. That project was put on hold. The environmental impact study determined that it would cause Chicks and Ducks and Geese to scurry.

Still kinda disappointed nobody has come up with a brand of soy milk called “Soy Capitan!”

That’s cool. These do seem to be a bit cheaper than comparably configured Windows laptops. I already bought a Windows 11 Lenovo (and put Linux Mint on it), but in the future I will opt for pre-loaded Linux computers. Glad to see it catching on. I don’t think I’ll be shipping my computer to a Lenovo service center to get a refund on the Windows license, but I may write a nasty email.

I heard about a company that sold laptops with Linux installed instead of Windows and I checked it out, expecting it to be a couple hundred dollars cheaper for a comparable machine, on account of not having to pay Microsoft a license fee. But actually if anything they were more expensive, so I was disappointed.
