    No, of course not. I just recently did it on my former work’s laptop that I then gifted away. I just don’t want to pay for the price of Windows which is factored in the price of a new laptop.

    I have been using GNU+Linux for over 15 years now. I am just not comfortable with giving Microsoft -or Apple- any of my money even indirectly, and don’t want a desktop.

      Quite a few companies actually do sell laptops with Linux preloaded, but the selection of models is often very limited, so I’m not sure if that would work for you.

      • I can’t find any locally. That’s why I’m holding off until a purchase becomes absolutely necessary, and hoping that Huawei does release HarmonyOS here -so far they released it on tablets only.
