Story: Acer: 'No UK demand' for Linux laptops
You don't want Ubuntu? Fair enough.
But if Ubuntu works then it's a safe bet that any other Linux distro will work too. So on the assumption that you're not paying an "Ubuntu Tax" on a preinstalled laptop, there's no harm in zapping Ubuntu and installing what you want instead.
I can't ever see a commercial entity wanting to master every single possible Linux distro in existence. It's far more logical just to pick one.
Me? I'd like to be able to buy a laptop without an OS at all.
