And AFAIK they offer the option to customize your laptop and there is also an OS option. Was there where I ordered mine. Had the choice of 2 Linux distros I believe or just no OS at all which was my choice.

Correct me if I am wrong because I really don’t know. But if you crack the bottom open can’t someone just slide the window open?

I first tried Centos because I knew it. Was horrible as a workstation.

I tried installing Mint but for reason the installer just did not work. A coworker (who was in Arch at the time) suggested I try Manjaro and have loved it even since.
