No, of course not. I just recently did it on my former work's laptop that I then gifted away. I just don't want to pay for the price of Windows which is factored in the price of a new laptop.

I have been using GNU+Linux for over 15 years now. I am just not comfortable with giving Microsoft -or Apple- any of my money even indirectly, and don't want a desktop.

Quite a few companies actually do sell laptops with Linux preloaded, but the selection of models is often very limited, so I'm not sure if that would work for you.
