I’ve never seen a DELL computer that came with a LINUX OS. LINUX is free. It seems to me they wouldn’t make any money on it.

It’s not hard to change or install it yourself:

If you don’t want to bother, it probably wouldn’t cost much to pay a local geek or Computer Sci major to do it for you...

You need to get out more. Dell has been selling PCs pre-installed with Linux for decades.
