PREDICTION

This year we will see prebuilt manufacturers start selling prebuilt machines with Linux pre installed even to normies.

There is no point to keep shelling out money to Microsoft for licensing, so this will be an aspect of shrinkflation.

Retard, Microsoft pays OEMs to preinstall Windows, not the other way around. MS makes too much money selling your data to care about whether someone pays $10 for the license key.

Asus tried that in 2007 with the eee pcs. We had WalMart selling "Lindows" PCs back in 2003. We have multiple Linux companies like System76, Slimbook, Pine64 and Librem.
