> I think the GP meant preinstalled *with Linux*.

I considered that but then the sentence would make even less sense.

How would be agree that the demand for preinstalled Linuxsystems is vanishingly small if there are no suitable options?

Would you agree that the demand for breathable air is vanishingly small based on only medical, diving and space equipment vendors selling it?

Or agree that there is no demand for colored cars based on Ford selling their Model-T only in black?

"I'm getting really fed up telling all these people that there's no demand for linux pre-installs. You're the tenth person I've had to tell today!"

If you tell demand by recording sales, of course there's no demand if nobody can find what they're looking for!
