Shopping for a laptop as a Linux user:

Screenshot from the Simpsons where Otto is talking to Marge and Homer standing next to a window in their house with a caption “Oh wow, windows!.. I don’t think I can afford this place.”

      I believe they pay OEMs as long as they exclusively use Windows, or at least they get a sizable discount
