Having been somebody who bought an Acer Aspire One linux installed
computer from pcworld, the kernal installed was Linux Lite, and the guy
told me, they had had almost all the linux laptops returned, biggest
reasons, couldnt get it to connect to the internet, no support from
ISPs, cant update/use apple products, same with Android
product.....which is why stopped selling them. Acer Aspire also refused
to support anybody who installed any other kernel during the warranty
period.......
Nowadays, people will be reluctant to use a computer they cant use their
apple products with.....

Not true. They still sell Ubuntu laptops. I did a search just
yesterday and found about 10 of their models where Ubuntu was an
install option.
