He JUST said that he CAN'T buy a computer with Ubuntu pre-installed, AND he told you the reason. Yes, someone had to actually hand him the voucher - but it was still the corporation's decision. Also, this is a GIFT. You don't go call and ask for a laptop with Ubuntu preinstalled after receiving a GIFT. | |

| Apr 27, 2015 at 8:17 | comment | added | Wilf | You can check here: ubuntu.com/certification to see if a computer you want is listed as able to run Ubuntu. The list is a bit limited, but the out of those listed the ones I have running Linux work simply brilliantly (better than the preinstalled windows - best example of this Lenovo B590 (except for its bluetooth)) | |

Attempted to clarify that buying a pre-installed Ubuntu laptop is not an option.

| Apr 26, 2015 at 18:53 | comment | added | Carl H | I don't accept that at all. Period. The voucher is a gift/reward from my employer. This is where I can spend it. edenred.co.uk/reward-recipients/spend-compliments-card/… What do you recommend? | |
| Apr 26, 2015 at 18:36 | comment | added | Panther | It is a bit off topic, but you seem to blindly accept that computers come with windows pre installed. period. end of discussion. Until we all expect more nothing will change. So call the "faceless corporate entity" that gave you your voucher and ask for something other then windows. If you spend as much time effecting social change as you did debugging hardware perhaps we could gain traction | |
| Apr 26, 2015 at 18:30 | comment | added | Carl H | Sorry, I don't understand that, and in any case it doesn't appear to be relevant to the original question. | |
| Apr 26, 2015 at 17:41 | comment | added | Panther | even faceless corporate entities need education. | |
| Apr 26, 2015 at 17:38 | comment | added | Carl H | @bodhi.zazen It wasn't a person. It was a faceless corporate entity. To be fair, there is a wide range of things I can spend it on; sadly Ubuntu laptops are not one. | |
| Apr 26, 2015 at 16:37 | comment | added | Panther | so talk to the person who gave you a voucher, perhaps you can use it in another way. | |
| Apr 26, 2015 at 16:36 | comment | added | Carl H | @bodhi.zazen Please see edited post for my reasons for not buying pre-installed Ubuntu. | |

| Apr 26, 2015 at 14:56 | comment | added | Panther | Should be, people think nothing of buying with Windows or OSX pre-installed and Ubuntu is no different. IMO we spend too much time debugging hardware compatibility problems and not enough time advising purchasing Ubuntu pre-installed. | |

| Apr 26, 2015 at 14:43 | comment | added | Carl H | @bodhi.zazen Buying with pre-installed Ubuntu is not an option, unfortunately. | |
| Apr 25, 2015 at 17:02 | comment | added | Panther | I believe it is better to use a hardware compatibility list or google search or a live usb. All of those would be better then hoping someone has the exact hardware. Even better, buy with Ubuntu pre-installed, why fight with unknown hardware ? | |
