I've used basically every Windows on Arm machine - I actually quite like my X Elite ThinkPad T14s Gen6, compared the the X13s - feels like they got everything right, that the X13s got wrong


The very first they got wrong is how hard it is to buy Dell XPS with Linux on most European countries.

Naturally nowhere to be found on PC stores, and online I never found it on sale in the Dell store.


Why would you want to do that anyway?


Because that is how normies buy computers, duh?

Go into store, get to talk with a "genie", whatever upsells to meet their KPIs, and leave with another computer that counts to the world market share in desktop units.

Which for all practical purposes means Windows, macOS, Chromebooks, iPad Pro or Android tablets with keyboard for Dex, HyperOS, HarmonyOS NEXT , and zero GNU/Linux devices.


Why would normies want to buy a Linux laptop?


Year of Desktop Linux beyond 3% after 30 years.
