New article on my site: I go over why you shouldn't buy new Windows computers just to install Linux on them.

@beardalaxy More often than you think. Granted, you don't see Linux computers at your local BestBuy, Costco, or OfficeDepot, and installing Windows on these computers is still easy. Just boot from a Live CD, DVD, or USB and install, but that may change soon as I have stated in the article.

@xianc78 @beardalaxy I installed Linux on a returned Asus laptop as a dualboot...and it runs faster than 11.

I actually was going to mention that but forgot about it. I'd rather support companies like System76 since they have done things like (partially) mitigate the Intel ME. I'm also hoping for more RISC-V hardware to become available.
