Seems unfortunate that there’s no “pre-built ready to use with Linux pre-installed” option starting at ~$1499.

A “Ubuntu LTS” option would be great here, yeah. It’d be next to impossible to support every distro and I get the feeling linux users who have distro preferences are also the type who would prefer to do it themselves.

Source: Me I guess. I’d rather setup Fedora myself

That’s good for workplaces at least. Everywhere I’ve worked, Ubuntu LTS is the standard with everything else being “good luck, just don’t let it get in the way of work”

The slightly above average users wouldn’t accept it either way. “What is this ugly Ubuntu? I want my gentoo minimalist install with awesomewm” etc

Damn, that’s a large price difference. $300 for spyware, wow.

The price gap mostly covers assembly.

  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can’t quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
