You Don't Have to Leave Windows: 8 Ways to Start Using Linux
If the technical work or fiddly nature of all the previous options doesn't appeal to you, you can always just buy a computer with a Linux distribution reinstalled. These let you forget about the nonsense of installation media and virtualization layers and just get to work. You buy it like you would any computer, only when you power it on, instead of Windows or macOS, you get Linux.
Linux computers are a niche market, so it may not seem obvious where to start looking for one. Small retailers like System76 and Star Labs design and sell laptops and desktop PCs specifically with Linux in mind. We've reviewed some of them, in fact, like the System76 Gazelle and the Kubuntu Focus Ir14. Some manufacturers you're probably familiar with also let you configure one of their models with Linux pre-installed, like our favorite Linux laptop, the Dell XPS 13 Plus.
