Explains why I don't see any HP laptops in the wild no more. Pretty much Apples and Dells everywhere with an odd Lenovo here and there.
After about a year, I made it clear to my boss that I was much more valuable to the company running in a Linux system. They 'found' some extra budget and made it happen, and I'm very pleased with that, but I don't disagree with their first decision to just get a simple HP.
I boot the HP probably once a year to blindly click through the flash based corporate training that one of us draws the short straw to write down the answers for.
I was able to get Arch on it without accepting the Win 10 license.
