System76 proudly specializes in Linux and even uses its own brand of the open-source system. It would make no sense to ask them to bundle Linux the same way that it would be weird to ask ASUS to make a Linux system when they sell Windows-only machines. If there were no Linux alternative, I can imagine asking ASUS to make an exception but otherwise it makes no sense. -- CrudeSausage Gab: @CrudeSausage Unapologetic paleoconservative
