The average person dont like linux, and if they buy a linux laptop the reason is because its cheaper than the windows one. So why manufacturers still use unknown distros (like lenovo with endlessos) and not something like ubuntu or mint?

    That is a completely different statement than the original comment.

      Apologies if i wasnt clear there, but the point I intended to convey was indeed that you should only use an OS that you yourself have installed, to ensure that it hasnt been shipped with any bloatware or backdoors.

      Hardware manufacturers have been doing it for years with modified windows installs, and I see no reason to beleieve they aren’t trying the same thing with Linux installs.
