Yeah, but with Laptops there will always be a time you have to open up the terminal and punch in 20 commands from a sketchy tutorial from 2015 to maybe get your fingerprint reader to work. How realistic is that for the 90% of user population which do not work in IT?
Linux has a host of there problems, like checking if your laptops hardware is compatible. Which isn’t a thing for Windows.
Having to chose a distro also sucks. You have to make pro and con lists and shit. With this distro my WAN card might work, but this distro has more of the programs I need on there package manager and this distro has newer packages but fewer…
This is the point most users quit Linux, before Installation
Nobody said a word about distro hoping so I don’t know what your point is
