    Yes. On their laptops. Also, you don’t need to sell something for it to be a product.

      No they don’t. Yes you do. And they definitely have to sell it if you’re going to claim some sort of conflict of interest. It’s not a selling point of their laptops, because you can remove it and install any other distro, and also (more importantly) you can use the distro on any other machine. You can buy a Framework laptop and put Pop OS on it. There’s no logical reason to dissuade people from using it.

        By that logic, SteamOS is not a selling point of the Steam Deck, and SteamOS is not a Valve product.

        And yes, they do sell it on their laptops:

          No, by my logic, Valve does not sell SteamOS, which is correct. Much like Pop, it’s freely available to install on any machine, including Framework.

          By your logic, Linus would hate SteamOS too.

          And yes, they do sell it on their laptops:

          Is this photo supposed to prove something? I don’t see a charge for PopOS?
