When did you ckeck last? They are everywhere, even Bestbuy sells them: https://noai.duckduckgo.com/?kax=-1&q=pre-installed+Linux+PC...

Best Buy has a marketplace of 3rd party sellers.

I guess you might be able to order one or something?

I can not walk into my local best buy and get a computer running Linux.

It's a moot point anyway, since you'll usually have to pay more for a Linux laptop vs buying a Windows one and installing it yourself.

I bought two Linux pre-installed PC's last October. They were €350 cheaper apiece than the same Windows PC (presumably because the Windows machines came with a lot of additional software installed idk).

That's silly. In general, people don't mind paying more for a product they perceive as better. Just look at Apple.

It's not clear that these niche Linux laptops are higher quality.

Usually their just rebranded , like System 76 is a rebranded Clevo laptop.

Now I can imagine Valve launching a SteamBook, but even this would be very niche compared to the Neo.
