This came and went as a trend.

how along ago was that? before 11? before 8? shits come a long way even in just the last 5 years. linux on the desktop is out-of-the-box at least as capable as windows 7, and mint has a lovely curated app store for easy app installs.

    Yeah, that's why I pointed out this used to be presented as a placeholder for testing the hardware before installing a non-OEM Windows while when it's done now it's more of a "this device is meant to run Linux" thing.

    It was more frequent but not exactly the same dynamic.

    And yeah, this was twenty years ago. I'm dead and buried.
