What computer does Linux run on?

Desktop Linux can run on your Windows 7 (and older) laptops and desktops. Machines that would bend and break under the load of Windows 10 will run like a charm. And today’s desktop Linux distributions are as easy to use as Windows or macOS. And if you’re worried about being able to run Windows applications — don’t.

Does Linux come preinstalled?
