Wow. The probably most popular on-line shop in Holland and Belgium is selling Linux laptops, with currently a choice of twenty laptops with Linux preinstalled, prices go from about 500 to over 3000 Euros. They usually partner with other companies to deliver the products. The names of these Linux laptops companies were unknown to me till today.

(Not wanting to “spam” in favor of them, only wanting to share this development, but if you want to fact check, try “linux laptop kopen” without the “” in Duckduckgo, and choose Belgium for country, and you will probably see that big name as the first hit).

    Ah, the company with the big blue guy mascot/logo. Sure they sell Linux laptops, honestly I never expected anything else. 3rd parties sell all kinds of stuff through them, so why not Linux laptops either?

    Wake me up when the big consumer tech webshops start selling and actually promoting Linux-based systems.

      Yeah that’s true. It will still be a very long while before that happens, if ever (in the not so distant future). There’s a lot of money on the line with manufacturers, shops and Mictosoft…
