Two out of the three laptops I got back to customers yesterday had Linux on them. The majority. Not bad!
One sale (mentioned in another post) of a ThinkPad L15 laptop with Linux Mint Debian Edition.
The second laptop was a service where the customer had run out of storage space on a small SSD on an HP with Devuan Linux - I used CloneZilla to clone to a larger SSD and fixed a few other things.
The third laptop was a SSD replacement, fresh Windows 11 installation with data recovery and transfer.
