For what it is worth, HCL (especially) and Zenith do have a significant number of models with Linux preloaded (desktop/workstations and laptops)
True, but this has more to do with the new launch, which should ideally have been with Linux preloaded.

Ergo, the train of thought about possible routes for a long term solution.
