I mean, you probably paid for it unless you either built your PC and chose not to pay a license, or you bought a laptop from a very short list of brands that allow to either buy it system-less or with Linux.
Dell offers no OS laptops and desktops but sadly only for business customers. Consumers have to buy the Windows adware. You sometimes see the enterprise stuff for sale second hand with no OS too. The only specific laptop I know that consumers can buy with no OS is the Framework Laptop, which looks awesome.
unless you either built your PC […] or bought a laptop…
I’d think that the chances would be pretty high that the user built their own desktop if they’re not on a laptop. Are prebuilt desktops even a thing anymore? I suppose you could have picked the parts and had a tech slap it together, but still… if you can do a jigsaw puzzle, you’re overqualified for what’s needed to build a desktop lol
I’d assume prebuilts are still the default for most desktop users. Yeah, building a PC is easier than its ever been, but it doesn’t mean people are interested in doing it. Also warranty and support if something goes bad - most people will prefer to just take the computer to the store rather than troubleshoot which one it is and deal with RMAs on individual components.
As someone who builds the PCs for people wanting them in my immediate friend circle: Unless they know someone who could build one for them most people just go to the store and get whatever shitbox the clerk recommends (not the clerk’s fault there are almost no decent prebuilts)

Could you give me examples of brands which ship with no OS OOTB?

And even then, you pay with your Data.
No point in having windows pre installed anyways. Why they to remove all the bloatware when you can just start fresh
Thats a link to a therapist near you
Today, I switched to PopOS
Congrats!
Too bad this isn’t relevant to the discussion what so ever.
And it only serves to make Linux users look arrogant. Like the many crossfit and vegan stereotypes.
