Shopping for a laptop as a Linux user:
Screenshot from the Simpsons where Otto is talking to Marge and Homer standing next to a window in their house with a caption "Oh wow, windows!... I don't think I can afford this place."

Way to completely miss the point there...
There's literally a Chromebook section at Best Buy. The point couldn't be more wrong. Quit complaining about non-existent problems just so you can make anti-Windows propaganda. It's shameful.
Do you think everyone lives in the US?
Then install Linux FOR FREE on a Windows PC and stop whining. I used Best Buy as an example. I highly doubt Chromebooks aren't available in your area. This is a list of every place that Chromebooks are sold, according to Google: "North America, United States, Canada, Mexico, Europe, UK, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Sweden, Austria, Rest of Europe, Asia Pacific, China, S Korea, Japan, India, Australia, Indonesia, Malaysia, Vietnam, Taiwan, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Rest of APAC.
You just wanted to complain and you know it. Educate yourself and stop spreading propaganda for Linux. Linux doesn't need your help.
