Good to read that you opted for a System76 laptop. Microsoft licenses have so many restrictions, it's no joke. But most people, unfortunately don't care. They just use Windows because it's what everyone else is using.

Then, the mindset that if Windows fails at something miserably, they still find an excuse to continue utilizing it. Yet, if Linux can't deliver because of the lack of driver support (which is the hardware manufacturer's fault), Linux is dismissed as not useful.
