The average person dont like linux, and if they buy a linux laptop the reason is because its cheaper than the windows one. So why manufacturers still use unknown distros (like lenovo with endlessos) and not something like ubuntu or mint?

    It makes sense for a hardware vendor to have their own distro. That’s the only way they can make sure that everything works seamlessly. Just think, if you put Ubuntu on your laptops and then Canonical do something that breaks your compatibility. It would be a major support nightmare.

    Never trust the OS that ships with a device. Wipe it, format the disk, and pray that they don’t have a backdoor at the bios level.
