Re: Where to buy a Linux based desktop in Israel?

2020-05-15 Thread marc volovic
I missed mist of the discussion, so pardon me for possible going over plowed 
ground - it is probably difficult to nigh impossible to buy a linux-installed 
machine, but it is quite easy to buy a "no os" machine (actually, with 
freedos). Why not get one of them and deploy whatever flavour of Linux the 
tickles your fancy?

And no - I am not going to debate which distro is shiniest.

Hi,

Pardon me for straying a bit off the topic of the recent sub-thread,

Be actually constructive and more on-topic and answer the question.

The last computer I bought with Linux pre-installed was a purism laptop.
Rather expensive and cannot be bought in Israel. The OS is a Debian
derivative, and it works well out of that specific box. But then again,
if you don't limit yourself to Israel, there are a number of others.
