Currently NVidia's mini PC, or the version licensed to Asus, is one of the few that I can actually buy with Linux pre-installed with a fully OEM supported version.

One would expect that by now buying desktop class computers on shops with a Linux experience would be rather common.

Geekcom devices that it advertises as Linux ready, are actually sold with Windows pre-installed.

I guess they mean WSL ready.

I would guess they mean it's ready for you to install Linux on it

Yeah, ignoring the whole fragmentation that keeps happening on the desktop stack, The Year of Desktop Linux will never happen if only computer nerds get to build such systems, as it has always been.

Instead normies get The Year of Linux kernel deployed with all kinds of consumer devices, and The Year of Linux VMs on retail.
