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 Linux laptop vendors to choose from with an Upgrade to 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 Tuxedo OS Linux laptops with tailored options for business, gaming, AI, and more.

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

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

DELL provides a variety of Linux laptops and PCs with a pre-installed Upgrade to Linux. DELL Linux laptops run on Ubuntu, a go-to distribution for those new to learning Linux. 

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