Sadly, I couldn't escape NVidia with the PC I got on Tuesday. I went for AMD
(CPU, not GPU)/Linux, which is hard enough to find in a Land of Solidarity.
The other offers didn't have the good combination of
Windows-free/Intel-free/NVidia-free. In case you buy a PC in the UK, I put
some notes in my personal blog. Just a mind dump of what I had found.
