The only operating system you can "buy" is Windows. For the most part, macOS is only distributed with their machines and on upgrade it will download the image onto the existing system prior to upgrading.

As far as Linux or BSD-based distributions, they're mostly free-of-charge and some do offer paid support.

Some OEMs do ship their computers with Linux preinstalled.
