4. No recent reposts

I once get told to buy a new laptop, see the specifications displayed as having Windows 10, but when booted up for test, surprise surprise, the installed OS was Ubuntu lmao
Unfortunately it was for a coworker, and they're not quite tech savvy, and thus requested for Windows...
A sad day
Who was the manufacturer? I don't know of that many brands who offer options on the OS side. Lenovo, maybe?
Ive seen that hp has custom Linux kernels on their support websites and I've seen news about dell selling laptops with Ubuntu. I've never bought one though.
