No, Lenovo has offered Ubuntu and at times other distributions preinstalled, for many years. It’s only on a small number of models.
I don't think they did it at a $200 discount before.
There is no discount, you are simply not paying for a windows license.
But before if you didn't want Windows, I think Lenovo just pocketed the change.
And OEMs don't pay anywhere reat retail for a Windows key.
This. $200 is what raised my eyebrows, Windows should not cost them that much when it’s usually “standard”
