What exactly is a Linux native PC? A PC that was purchased with Linux installed? Linux runs natively on just about anything that boots.
They mean PCs with Ubuntu installed as the host operating system, as opposed to a PC where Windows 11 is the host OS, and Ubuntu is just a VM inside WSL.
Maybe a machine that did not require the inclusion of a Windows license in the purchase price?
At one point, I think Dell would let you subtract a small amount from an order when no OS was installed.
In this context it is Linux booting on hardware and not in virtualization.
