No, Lenovo has offered Ubuntu and at times other distributions preinstalled, for many years. It’s only on a small number of models.

I don't think they did it at a $200 discount before.

There is no discount, you are simply not paying for a windows license.

But before if you didn't want Windows, I think Lenovo just pocketed the change.

And OEMs don't pay anywhere reat retail for a Windows key.
