Any Linux laptops available in retail?

Looking forward for a trip to London.
Can I find System76/Framework laptop in retail stores?

System76 computers are USA made and only available online (they ship to a select few countries you won't be able to find them in stores.

You might want to reconsider those Framework computers after the latest controversy: https://community.frame.work/t/framework-supporting-far-right-racists/75986/2

Jesus Christ, what an absolutely awful response. So Framework is basically saying, “we’re happy to fund Nazis as long as they like open source too.”

Well, I was a fan of Framework.

The idea is that they're funding the projects, not the people, I imagine.

I think the idea is that they don’t want to alienate white supremacists. Well, anyone who doesn’t want to alienate white supremacists has alienated me.

While I can see that there's controversy stemming from identity politics, I do not know the specific controversy at hand. Who or what is DHH in this context?

Lenovo offers Linux pre-installed. Not sure if anyone carries them in retail stores though.

I've never seen any in London. As far as I'm aware, you need to order these things online. Only the Apple/Google/Samsung devices are in physical shops

I've seen Linux computers at Walmart and Best Buy before, but I've never been to London.

So, they do exist.

My laptop runs certified UNIX, whatever that means... but I bought it at the Apple Store. ;) (It's a MacBook Air. It runs macOS. I don't know why people say macOS is certified UNIX, and I don't care, it's just funny to me.)
