@delosmzp @frameworkcomputer since there are so many distros, where should they start?

@wheeze_NL Ubuntu, Fedora, Pop OS are great beginner options

@delosmzp yes, but it's quite time intensive to have all those options pre-installed. You'd need so much inventory, for every version.

@wheeze_NL not necessarily. They can install after the order has been placed. What you’re suggesting is not how it works.

@delosmzp so they need to handle every systen after it's sold.
I presume they are ready on the shelves, in the closed box already.

@wheeze_NL again, not how it works, the way you’re thinking.

@wheeze_NL As far I understand, if they did custom Linux preinstalls for select distros, they would have the customer order and then put together the device with the latest distro version available and then pack it.

This would be time consuming and potentially pricier. But we wouldn't have to pay for Windows so it could balance out.

Several ways to go about it and can be done differently too but this is how I envision them doing it if they did.
