Unfortunately I kind of doubt it, although Windows is still what I get to use, not paying Apple tax and Tahoe isn't great either, and I have better things to do than fine tuning Linux installations, even on laptops sold with it pre-installed like my old Asus netbook.

Lets see in practice how much they are actually listening.

Now, this would be a great opportunity to actually get stuff like Dell XPS with Ubuntu on PC stores.

This seems to be claiming Windows is better because you cannot fine tune it. No one forces you to fine tune Linux. You can just buy something with Linux preinstalled and use it and skip the tuning and customisation.

		Unfortunately I have the experience that is hardly the case in regards to laptops. Using various Linux distributions since kernel 1.0.9, Slackware 2.0.

Not to say that experience was invalid, but we've come a long way since the netbooks were a thing.

Except Windows is available on PC stores where humans can be talked in person for sorting out issues, while most Linux powered laptops have to be ordered online, with various degrees of missing functionality, with a black box when comes to sending them back for repairs.

Same applies to Apple, Chromebooks and Android pseudo laptops regarding stores available with out of the box experience, the latter two while using the Linux kernel aren't certainly GNU/Linux distributions.
