It looks like (at least here in the U.S.) that this is the only model that allows selection of the OS. I looked at cheaper models of different product lines by them and they all include Windows 11.

I don't understand why companies don't offer more Linux options these days, there's zero excuse

Partnership and contracts not to be confused with lack of excuse.

Instal Windows everywhere and get cheaper Windows.

Offer Linux and lose the offer from MS.

So, offering linux was bad for business. Was. Bevause thanks to work communities did in Linux and marketing from Steam...and Proton, Linux stopped beimg a thing you'll easily lose clients over.

Because no one buys Linux PCs. Dell used to sell multiple lines of laptops with Linux, but pretty much no one was buying apart from a few freaks.
