Didnt surprise me as Lenovo and Del are very popular but they were missing some OEMS like Acer from the list.

I'm not surprised Acer didn't make the list. Their support is basically nonexistent. It's how they make their prices so good. They have a modicum of hardware support (not fast, but they will eventually fix it if it can be fixed and you can prove beyond the shadow of a doubt it's not "accidental" damage). But software, might as well call MS to ask them to troubleshoot your Slackware install for all the more Acer will do for you (Windows OR ChromeOS both). They don't sell anything preloaded with linux either, but if they did, no doubt it would be the same thing. But they do make (some) great hardware.\

HP not appearing, far more bizarre. HP has very good support, software (supported) and hardware.

Agree, HP was another that surprised me and System76 was third.
