Particularly annoying is the fact that Dell claims to be "Linux friendly". Which is apparently shorthand for: "Sure, we'll happily sell you one of three crappy laptop models with Ubuntu pre-installed, at a slight discount, while bombarding you with 'Dell Recommends Windows' ads while you shop. What's that? You want a desktop machine with Linux? Are you insane?"
