Never buy an unwanted copy of #Windows again!

@strypey I see your point of supporting FOSS supporting people, respect for that.
Just a little point.
The most common laptops shipped with linux here also have the option to buy it with windows.
At that point, what is better: getting the linux one and having to reinstall anyway to do FDE or whatever, or the windows one, get 50 bucks back AND be a pain in the ass to the producer because of their choice of using microsoft? Maybe that can help pushing in a different direction too...
I may be wrong though, I often am
@strypey Anyway, sorry for hijacking your post, thanks for sharing the FOSS love!
@arteteco sure you can. Or, you can buy a device that is optimized for GNU/Linux, support a vendor that supports a free code OS instead of MS, and save yourself the admin of applying for the refund. Up to you of course :)
