It's missing a billboard that reads "RTFM", though.

I once get told to buy a new laptop, see the specifications displayed as having Windows 10, but when booted up for test, surprise surprise, the installed OS was Ubuntu lmao
Unfortunately it was for a coworker, and they're not quite tech savvy, and thus requested for Windows...
A sad day
Technically Androids are Linux so there're already a shit ton of those
Linux with proprietary mess
I'm all for linux, but it truly isn't in a state where it can be widely adopted by the average users(I'm talking about laptop users here). it'll take years for achieving even the current level of usability that Windows provides out of the box. popular DEs like KDE still ship with god awful garbage touchpad drivers for machines with bigger than average touchpads. and their gesture implementation is nothing short of atrocious. and this is all before even getting into other problems such as fractional scaling in Wayland and how Firefox no longer comes with hardware acceleration enabled by default
But don't you think that most of these issues stem from the fact that few manufacturers support linux? If they adoptes linux just as windows, they could very well make open source drivers and tweak popular distros to be 100% compatible with hardware, just like manufacturers tweak android all the time.
it’ll take years for achieving even the current level of usability that Windows provides out of the box
I'm currently dual booting Windows 11 and Ubuntu 22.04 and would say that gap has already closed. I cannot really work with the shell in Windows because it does not seem to understand bash which makes things difficult. The windows package manager is very cumbersome to use. Customizing the DE is a hassle and I cannot switch to other DEs. Most of the code base is closed so I cannot really see what is getting executed in the background. The settings come with telemetry enabled on default. I think it does not even have Vim installed.
does not even have Vim installed.
That does not sound posixly correct
Fuck arm and it's proprietary mess.
RISC-V ftw
