Installing Linux on tech you already own is free and can keep hardware running faster, for years to come. But if you’re in the market for a new PC or laptop, there is a selection of vendors to choose from with Linux pre-installed!

(We have heard good things, but haven’t tested these laptops ourselves, and encourage checking out reviews for yourself before trying out any new hardware)

TUXEDO Computers creates ready-to-go custom Linux Tuxedo OS  laptops with tailored options for business, gaming, AI, and more.

SLIMBOOK also creates Linux laptops, servers, and more in support of opensource technology. 

Lenovo offers hundreds of models with Linux pre-installed, ranging from budget to office-ready, and even those fit for gaming and video editing.

DELL provides a variety of Linux laptops and PC Desktops with Ubuntu, a go-to distribution for Linux newcomers preinstalled.

HP released the Dev One, a Linux pre-installed laptop in 2022. Models have since sold out, but check out their partner, System_76 for more options!
