I don't really see the advantage of something like this for me, Most of the time, I blast the OS away anyway, even if it's an os I actually use, I use gentoo, but I said I don't see the point for someone like me, But if it's your cup of tea, go for it. I'm glad to see more manufacurers support linux though!

I mainly think this is the gateway to more people even knowing about Linux, plus the added benefit of the hardware being more likely to get long-tern support. Making it easy for people to buy devices with Linux out of the box could do wonders for adoption, at least how I see it.

maybe you can be sure that linux distros will work?
