In Europe, laptops without an operating system (often referred to as DOS installed) are available. Prices start from 300 EUR.
I am in Europe but these laptops are rare in the low price end unfortunately.
Perhaps it depends on the country. In any case, I recommend buying the laptop that suits you best in terms of price and not paying attention to the operating system. I just set a filter in the online store for "Ryzen 5" and I don't see any difference in price between laptops with Windows and laptops without the operating system. It's better to find out how well the laptop supports Linux.
