Because you should buy the parts and build the computer yourself and get exactly what you need for the software you will be running. Anything else will be cheap stuff sold at high prices. Apple is the worst. You cant swap out parts and your files are locked down.

True but Linux should have something. Even windows has surface

Check out System 76 or Tuxedo.

Some companies are trying.

System76 comes to mind.

Because you can just buy any PC you want and then choose the distro you want to put on it.

Well yes that applies to windows as well, still you can outright buy a windows pc

What's Windows?
Are you talking about that bloatware they install by default at the factory?
Dude, you are supposed to just format the disk and install Linux.

LOL, imagine being suck a tool that you use the factory bloatware!
