I would be really tempted, but there are still a couple things putting me off:

* Intel only * Windows only

... sorry boy and mum are arguing over homework -- gotta run!

At first this comment made me angry (it's Linux, the whole point is user choice, what would be the benefit in preinstalling!) - but I suppose System76 have really showed how much better things can be with Pop!_OS.

I would expect the vast majority of users will be using Linux though, so calling it Windows only seems a little misleading. There is an option to get no OS and avoid the Windows tax.

I'd rather pay to add Linux support rather than skip the windows tax.

Intel only at the moment is correct but Windows only? TFA says "no OS" as an option, so you're free to install what you like.

It's possible to install Linux, but it requires a bunch of fiddling. And even then power management tends to not work great.

I'd love if Linux has as officially supported and just worked.

Indeed. Happily using Void Linux on mine. Took some doing (kernel downgrade being the most annoying), but it works great now.

There's a Linux configuration

Sure, but when you look at the ordering page, it doesn't mention linux as an OS option, just Windows or no OS

I’m with you in the “Intel Only” but not the “Windows only”. Windows is the only one you have to pay for, so it’s the only one with an option. If you don’t want Windows, then choose the “bring your own” option and download your Linux distribution.
