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.

What is the value of shipping a laptop with Linux when the user can easily load their distribution of choice? I had an Ubuntu certified laptop from Dell in 2015, I quickly replaced it with fedora, which was much more stable on the hardware.
Shipping a laptop with Linux makes it much easier for non technical people to use Linux.
