I bought two Linux pre-installed PC's last October. They were €350 cheaper apiece than the same Windows PC (presumably because the Windows machines came with a lot of additional software installed idk).

That's silly. In general, people don't mind paying more for a product they perceive as better. Just look at Apple.

It's not clear that these niche Linux laptops are higher quality.
Usually their just rebranded , like System 76 is a rebranded Clevo laptop.
Now I can imagine Valve launching a SteamBook, but even this would be very niche compared to the Neo.
I guess you might be able to order one or something?
I can not walk into my local best buy and get a computer running Linux.
