Don’t get confused, not all PCs are sold with windows preinstalled or require microsoft software to work.
What makes you think you wouldn’t be able to load a different Linux distro on this box? Sounds like it’s just a PC with steam OS pre-installed. Or are you just against an OS being pre-installed?
