From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

To my knowledge the few laptops from the more famous brands I saw being released with Linux out of the box were coming with Ubuntu, can you make a few more examples?
Also Endless OS isn't really unknown, it's just that it's not suggested at all in most communities because its focus is more on making a kid friendly distribution, which is amazing, but it's not really what most people will be looking for
there is vaio and positivo which uses debian, lenovo also uses linux gutta. For endless os there is lenovo again and asus.
Ok I see. Debian's fine IMO, but what the hell is Linux Gutta @.@
A distro that acer made, i confused lenovo with acer
Yup, I couldn't find much info on it, only an official page in Portuguese, that one is very weird, I wonder if they made it just so they could put spyware on it
