📣 Consumers should be able to buy laptops without any specific operating system, and should not have to pay the license price if they don't want to.

Together with the @ItaLinuxSociety we launched the initiative 'Refund4Freedom' to protect consumer rights when buying a new computer.

Join our demand to end of this practice that limits user freedom

Several times I bought a laptop with Windows installed, and overwrote it by installing a Linux distribution. Should I have gotten the money back for the Windows license? The problem is that laptop makers are paid to load the laptop up with crapware and these payments often exceed the cost of the Windows license. So it would actually cost slightly more money for them to sell me a machine with no OS.
