Let’s say just like for example like MacOS. It’s awesome we have so many tools but at the same time lack of some kind of standardization can seem like nothing works and you get overwhelmed. I’m asking for people that want to support Linux or not so tech-savy people.

    Look at the Steam Deck as an example:

    • Linux is preinstalled
    • Integrated hardware and software
    • Immutable OS that is very hard to bork
    • UI is Windows-like which is familiar to the target market
    • Good value for the price
    • Offered by a well-known and well-liked brand
    • Marketed and advertised to the target market

    We need more Linux devices like this to gain market share.

      System76 is doing that these days. They put extra hardware support for their Linux distro TuxedoOS and I’ve heard good things.

      Edit: System76 make PopOS and Tuxedo computers make TuxedoOS

        I think you meant Pop!_OS (is developed by System76). TuxedoOS is developed by Tuxedo Computers, which is a European Linux focused hardware company.

        That said, the point stands… there are hardware companies making Linux supported devices.

      Yeah exactly.

      But what about casual usage like office? The option to choose OS preinstalled on the laptops or desktop would be beneficial.

      But Microsoft holds its monopolistic grip.
