Interesting and disappointing that both Dell and Acer release Ubuntu

I would have hoped Fedora would gehavet more of a look in.
Unlikely. OEM's usually need a commercially supported product with less
moving parts and longer lifecycle which is why Dell ships RHEL, SLES and
Ubuntu (LTS) and not Fedora or even regular Ubuntu versions. Other
vendors resell these under various names too. System76 for example. I
haven't checked what Acer is doing here but I also came across this

A growing Linux market is nevertheless good for all of us if they don't
start putting in proprietary wedges in the name of getting things to
work. While you can be slightly unhappy about the details (my chocolate
wrapper in brown instead of blue), it is still important that we be
supportive of these kind of efforts.
