Thank you Merde my friend for resharing all five chapters of my GNU+Linux computer vendors list!

@stunder

Thank you @Yop my friend for resharing all five of my GNU+Linux computer vendors list!

Thank you @RTP my friend for resharing my GNU+Linux computer vendors list! See you in chapter VI.

@ademalsasa Quick search returned this site.

The shop allegedly have supplied computers based on GNU/Linux distros to private companies and universities in Japan.

I'm not a user of the shop but it should be legit. Hope this helps!

Amazing, Suguru-san! Without your help, it is impossible for me to find this shop as I haven't been able to read Japanese right now (hey, I am a Kakugou player). This helps a lot, Suguru-san! Arigatou gozaimasu.

@suguru

@ademalsasa I'm not aware of any NZ-based vendors selling GNU+Linux #preinstalled machines, although today I was talking to a guy at one of our bigger computer sellers who agreed that they get Microsoft marketing co-payments (kick-backs) with the understanding that they don't sell any computers without MS Windows on them... so it's anti-competitive but possibly not formalised enough to result in a proper prosecution. Too bad.

@lightweight thanks, I learned one thing! So is that how Microsoft works in all countries, Dave? If that is, that could explain more why Windows popular.

@ademalsasa Yup. It is. MSFT isn't popular, few with experience of anything else would select them. They're usually forced on people...

@lightweight that explains very much, Dave. Thanks for sharing this and I would love to know more about this.

@ademalsasa If the buyer can afford it I'd recommend them to go for System 76, Purism, Slimbook, Star Labs etc.
I would recommend the mentioned businesses for fully open laptops, if they don't want (or cannot get) MNT Reform that is.

@person thank you my friend, I forgot MNT Reform. I will include it in the next chapter.

@ademalsasa Just make sure to mention MNT isn't 100% free, memory controller and HDMI port need blobs. However I would like to think it's still a better choice since you are supporting a new laptop maker that cares about user and benefits a nee freedom friendly company.

@person hello, my friend, thank you and I appreciate so much this notice about software freedom on that computer. I am a Trisquel user myself so this is important to me.

@ademalsasa You are welcome sir

@ademalsasa
There are also many resellers in the refurbished market specialized in preinstalled Linux laptops with warranty.
A nice way to reduce environmental impact while keeping freedom.

@Yop wow, nice info! If you know any, please share them with me.

@ademalsasa
I wish I'd know an easy list to share… I've only Oxfam Herstal in mind (https://bit.ly/3BjcLey), which sells them with Windows or Ubuntu but they don't have a webshop. Don't be fooled by res-sources website: it's a nice tool to find other second hand shops but the English translation is empty. Maybe the map on the main page can help you?
Also, at minifree.org UK (which is already in your list), @libreleah sells old ThinkPads upgraded with Libreboot.

@Yop thank you, thank you very much, my friend. I'm really looking for vendors who sell computers with GNU+Linux preinstalled. @libreleah@mas.to

@ademalsasa
Before buying my Librem, I also saw that seller from Los Angeles, CA: https://www.m.ebay.com/seller?sid=spetr_1973
But there's no mention about warranty.

@ademalsasa Just found this : https://tehnoetic.com/laptops via https://www.coreboot.org/users.html

@Yop hi Yop, nice computer shop you gave me here. Thanks a lot!

@ademalsasa Great list. :)

@RTP thank you very much!
